reading device for e-texts (Score 1)

Not yet. Maybe soon. God knows I've been waiting long enough.

We publish e-books, and for demonstration purposes I use a Sony Z505 Notebook with a high-res 1024x768 screen. It's small and you can type on it, but battery life sucks. It was very expensive when new, but probably cheap now. The screen sure is great; it's comparable to a mass-market paperback, two pages side-by-side.

But it's larger than most PDA's, even though small for a notebook/laptop. Weighs 3.75 lbs. Did I mention it draws down its battery the moment your back is turned?
