I've been tempted by the Amazon Kindle for a while. But, I can't justify a device that does *only* books.
I read eBooks on my Windows Mobile phone now. You can adjust the font sizes to make any text readable, though when you do that you can only read a couple paragraphs at a time. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 19, 2008 8:13 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: E Book reader. Saw one this past weekend in a Barnes&Noble bookstore (USA). Although it's a wee bit on the slow side, the print is quite easy for my injured eyes to read (and it has brightness/contrast controls as well as pretty fine magnification settings). It is as small as it appears and is quite thin (about as thick as my Blackberry). This seems to load either by cable or via memory sticks and is $300 US. For about a year, Amazon has been pushing one that is $350. I've never actually seen one of those. It claims to have wireless built-in, so one may download new material "on the fly". I found the Sony to be quite tempting, but the $300 price tag made resistance rather easy. -------------------------------------- Richard McClary, Systems Administrator ASPCA Knowledge Management 1717 S Philo Rd, Ste 36, Urbana, IL 61802 217-337-9761 http://www.aspca.org "Gavin Wilby" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 09/19/2008 06:58:41 AM: > Guys, > > Has anyone got experiance of one of these? > > http://tinyurl.com/4eon5b > > I have a real issue with reading documentation on my monitor screen, > and I am hoping that this will prove to be the answer, but 200 quid > is a lot to shell out if its not right. > > Anyone got one, and if so, do you like it? > > Gavin. > > ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
