One of the first things I did when I bought my first PDA several years ago was to put technical documentation on it to have at work. Very shortly thereafter, I was reading ebooks on it.
More recently, I had to give up on reading on a PDA, due to screen size. Sadly, I'm in the majority of those over 40 who need reading glasses. Even with reading glasses, I now find that my Nokia N800 is about as small a device as I want to read on.
It seems that I have been hearing about eink and other wonderful, new ebook technologies for as long as I had a PDA. All the while, waiting for these technologies to appear. At least with the Visiplex screen, it appears that eink has finally arrived in a form that I would find acceptable. Of course, we're still waiting on all the other technologies :-)
