I don't think they were trying to be funny, as I described. They were changing the strictures so they could close out the problem.

And the rules weren't "ridiculous" -- they were real and as I stated: strongly worded, but with openings in the practice of their execution for devices that technically violate them, but don't seem threatening.

He went with a LifeDrive from Palm, which I think is an excellent device, with plenty of hackability, but is old enough not to present scary capability. The only downside I see is that there is no ePub reader for Palm, but Mobipocket and Plucker should see him through.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions, even the pbook suggestions. I think this thread had an influence on him (he read it.)
