I ve read a lot of books (maybe 50 per year in the last two years) on an ancient Palm TX with a great reading software called PalmFiction. I love it. I carry it everywhere and since i bought it i really enjoy commuting, having to sit in waiting rooms, etc. The display is great, it has one of the best screen to overall size ratio, it has a reasonable battery life and with PFiction i can read in green over black with a very decent font.
TX is great with txt, docs, rtfs, but i reckon it sucks big time with PDFs.
But i heard that Palm is no longer manufacturing the TX, and honestly i dont see any succesor in the market should i ever lose or break my TX.
The samsung q1 was a step in the right direction, but was expensive. Maybe the Ipod Touch fills the screen size and price criteria, but does it have a reading software designed for the hardcore ebook reader like the Palm has??
