Good, cheap, relatively thin PDA/eBook reader?
I was looking for an eBook reader and I stumbled upon this site:
http://www.kk.org/cooltools/archives/000391.php
which shows a review for the Sony Clie T6152.
I looked on eBay and the Clie as well as a few other PDAs are relatively cheap because they’re a few years old.
Now, I don’t really care about the age, I just want something to read eBooks on rather than my cell phone. (Awkward small screen, backlight only stays on for 30 seconds, eats up batteries… etc.)
I just want something that works well.
Also, it would be nice if it wasn’t very thick, but that’s just a plus. I really don’t care much as long as it’s not gigantic and can preferably fit into my pocket.
Any ideas?
Oh, and looking through PDAs for the past half-hour, I’ve been thinking… wifi might be nice too…
Most of the eBooks are meant for Palm or other PDAs. As of now there are very few exclusive eBook readers. One of them is Sony. There is another Reader named iLiad made by iRex Technologies. Amazon has its own proprietary eBook reader called Kindle but its bulky and not pocket size. In my opinion only the Sony eBook reader fits your requirements. And I am not sure if it has wi-fi.
Kindle has wi-fi.

Hope this helps.
