i'd like something roughly the size of a paperback. i don't care if it's twenty years old, or used, as long as it can read a variety of file types - stuff from project gutenberg, pdf's (the latest ones, if possible), random proprietary formats... basically, i want to get free ebooks onto it, and, uh, read 'em. maybe even buy some, if i'm feelin' crazy. pda functionality would be nice, but is not, at all, necessary. a certain amount of product support, be it company or "fan" based, would be nice, and replacement parts would be good, too. any ideas?

well, what I did was download a tiny *jar program that allows me to read *.pdf and *txt files on my cell phone -it's an ancient sony K700i. It costed me nothing, since the program is freeware and you can get it on the net. If you have a cell phone that can run java applets, you should try it yourself.

The Sony SB5100 is aboiut $two hundred and can examine PDF and epub. in line with risk mobi, i'm uncertain. text cloth PDFs are ok, scanned PDFs no longer great. It has collections yet i'm uncertain the thank you to regulate that. Books offered for the duration of the sony shop pass there and each little thing else is going in "books" alphabetically (or "photographs" for photos) It has dictionary yet i've got no longer used it. It has e-ink show screen, good outdoors. It has annotation and notes, and can seek in books. Works over USB as a memory device in Linux and so on, or by potential of Sony's utility on homestead windows.
