Thanks for all the input everyone. I think that perhaps, pocket pcs are the way to go. I would have preferred something with a larger screen, but those'll do. Just wasn't sure if there were any retail ebook readers that were in that price range.

I've been using the Kindle recently on set and it's worked out well, which is why I'd like to invest in other ebook readers for the crew. Maybe laptops work for your sets, but I'm making this change from first hand experience. laptops cause space issues, they don't last long (we don't have a generator) and they've been at risk for damage very often. Besides, we're on foot constantly moving from location to location and more junk to carry VS these little devices and actually with the pocket PCs we can make on the fly changes since we would only really use the laptops for word, celtx or other basic software.
