I'm trying to decide which device would work the best as a portable PDF reader, since there don't ssem to be any good e-readers avalable. I'm wondering if a PSP would work or maybe the Nokia Internet reader. Has anyone tried this and found a lightweight device good enough for using as a portable ebook reader (that supports PDF)?
All of the Palm OS PDAs on the market can support PDF with the right software installed. The small screen issue can be resolved by using a mofel that supports landscape images- such as the Palm Tx.
I like my Tx because it is small, easy to use, and incredibly versatile. I can do several formats of e-texts- Word, .txt. .html, .pdf, etc. as well as photos, movies, MP3, etc. and be a planner and game platform as well.
