I have become absolutely intrigued by this device:

Now, given that it has a web browser and can handle plain text, that means you can read Project Gutenberg files on it, as well as any html files you might have. And since it's a linux computer, I'm assuming that you'll be able to install any linux ebook reader app that you might be able to find.

Thoughts?

Agreed, it's a cute device. Some may find the 2.4-inch screen too small for reading e-books.

It's simply too small, period.

The PSP screen is bigger, why not use that instead - I'm sure they are made in large quantities.
