Could your eyes adjust to the Pocket PC screen?

Electronic Books and Ebook Readers in LPT's Future -- Part 2 Electronic Book Readers -- a cost comparison (continued from Electronic Books and Ebook Readers -- Part 1) We can almost hear some of you saying, "Ah, but a Sony Reader or a Palm Z22 doesn't give as much sensory feeling pleasure as a paper-based book -- and doesn't have the same low-care portability." Well, suppose we told you that we'll be introducing voice recordings in the next electronic editions of the Vol 1, Vol 2, and Vol 3 books? Wouldn't the added audio capability overshadow some (if not all) of the 'sensory feel and low-care' considerations? And that's not to mention the complete absence of Shipping & Handling charges for such products -- and the (no or low) purchase tax relief you'll enjoy. When it comes to language reference books like ours, that question is a bit of a no-brainer, isn't it. So which one of these (already available) ebook reader devices should you choose? As always, our first consideration in such matters is, "How much does it cost?" Here are the latest price figures we could find for several Electronic Book Readers that are compatible with the Adobe Reader PDF file-format (our first offered format): For full-size viewing: The Sony Reader (measuring 6.9” by 4.9” by .5”) displays book-sized Adobe PDF pages, JPEG images, and plays MP3 audio files... from $299. If you can live with a small screen, you can also view (and hear) Adobe PDF files on: Nokia 6680 Smartphones Series...from £245.50 (Europe), $499.99 (USA) (as low as £135.00 at amazon.co.uk) Nokia Communicator 9500 series... from $779.95 HP iPAQ RX3115 Pocket PC... from $209.00 Palm Tungsten E2 Handheld... from $148.99 Palm Z22 Handheld... from $89.49 Isn't one of these ebook reading devices in your price range?
