I'm old school (admitted) - up until a few months ago I walked around with 3 pieces of hardware at all times - a LG Swine cell phone, a Palm Pilot for eBook reading (only), and a Netbook for the rest ...

Well, lately my Palm died (it was 10 years old ... too bad was great for reading my PDFs for hours on end - see I am not difficult)... so I was looking into replacing it with an eBook reader but it looks like most of what I loved about my Palm (good in the dark, nice backlight, AC adapter, etc...) aren't really available on most eBook readers...

So some in the forum have suggested I check into "alternative devices", last night I started looking into Smartphones (combine eBook and Cell) - but honestly totally new world for me ...

Let me just say this - not a Apple fan...
So - if my primary goal is reading eBooks and I can bundle a cell easily ... what would be the best recommendation?

(btw - I am in Canada - if that helps)
