What was your first e-reading device? - Page 5

angryvegan · 08-03-2010, 03:59 AM

Palm V - mostly short stories from fictionwise (I think it was called something else then)

Palm m515 - nice screen for the time but poor battery life

Palm Treo 270 - can't believe I read vols 1-3 of Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire on the tiny treo screen!

Palm T5 - a really good LCD screen, much less glare than my iPod touch, BlackBerrys or HTC phones

Sony PRS-505 - love it to bits

So far, just my Kobo. Thinking about a Kindle3 wi-fi only though.

Just my nook WiFi. I never read eBooks before 3 weeks ago.

AnemicOak · 08-03-2010, 02:17 PM

Palm IIIxe

My first book came from Peanut Press.

rheostaticsfan · 08-03-2010, 02:37 PM

Also Palm III for me.

It's amazing how much better my palm III was than my current BB for ebooks. mobipocket takes FOREVER to load now (measured in minutes). It was instant on the Palm III.

Sony PRS-505 one month after it was launched.

Dell Axim x5 which I loved for reading. Great battery life, portable, and great ergonomics - it had a dial on the left side to turn the page.

Wordcrasher · 08-03-2010, 05:37 PM

My Sony PSP.

A Dell Axim51 with Mobipocket Reader installed. Then I bought a Cybook Gen 3 as my first e-ink screen - Yay! And broke that screen a few months later. Which put me on the path of many other interesting ebook readers.

PC/laptop (still use for online reading)
Palm m125 - first portable electronic reading experience
Sony PRS-300

Franklin ebookman 911several years ago, and now Ipaq Rx1950 (using Mobipocket). But I am now awaiting (a little bit nervously) the delivery of a Sony PRS 900, and then learning to convert my purchased mobipocket (secure and unsecure) ebooks to epub for reading on the Sony.

I'm a newbie. Kobo, on the first day they hit the market here in Canada.

banjobama · 08-03-2010, 09:01 PM

My Sony PRS-600, which I got last Christmas. Whenever I get my HTC Desire smartphone, I plan to use that as well.
