Now that I'm allowed to post again. :)
I would like to buy a handheld device that does the following two things well:
- read ebooks
- play MP3s
Based on those requirements, I believe the most important features are:
-as large a screen (ebookman size screen would be great) as possible- color is not necessary
-minimal glare
-ability to read plain text (free classics), html, and pdf
-large but fast storage medium
-long battery life
-high fidelity sound
-low price :)
Most importantly, it has to fit in my pocket though I don't care how much it weighs. Obviously what I want is a modern PDA. I've looked around a bit, and though I've found many devices which would be adequate, I don't really see anything that excels at both requirements at a reasonable price point (sub $500 with memory). Any recommendations?
