Re: Hell: Do you really want to buy three e-book readers at 500Euros a pop for the really meager catalogue out there.
The catalog is growing quickly from over 50,000 titles at some ebook sites (http://www.syndp.us for example). Most titles are available in Microsoft Reader, Palm or Adobe so you can choose the reader you prefer and use your Palm, Pocket PC, laptop or tablet PC with that reader. The readers are available as free downloads. Pricing for the eBooks themselves is usually below that of the paperback equivalent. Just stay away from the propietary formats.
With Gemstar's demise, it's possible they will allow their content to be converted to oter formats.
