I agree I also aint finished an ebook on my pdas.

However the screen on this is very very very easy to read, it genuinely looks like paper, the words look like they have been printed, it really is that good.

Also fantastic to be able to carry it around with me where ever I go. It's about the height of a paperback book but is much much thiner about 1cm thick.

Ultra portable.

Next london meat if you come along I will bring it with and you can pass judgement

Me has just finished that book also and whilst I am enjoying the series it's very, very cliched and utterly predictable.
I have not seen the film either, but from the looks of the film photos that were in the middle of the tie-in paperback release I read it looks wank!

Does it have bookmark feature?

Clever Smart NaV

Yeah which model sat nav is it?

Would love to get my mum one.

Harry Potter is great escapism, if you are remotely a fan.
Micheal Crichton is easy to get hold of and his stuff is normally well researcha dn thought prevoking.

Oh, and the hands-free phone aspect is fantastic. You can make calls/send texts and it gets all the info from your phone from incoming calls/texts to contacts to call/text history to signal strength to battery life remaining - anything you can do on your phone you can do from the screen. When I'm in the car I just turn on bluetooth on my phone, leave it in my pocket and forget about it - the Garmin becomes my phone.

So far it's my favourite gadget ever, and I've had a few, begorrah.

Do the books have to come from Audible?

Can you set bookmarks with normal mp3 files?
Most of my audiobooks are in that format, not from audible

I've resisted the urge to do that.

Mainly because I think it will be pants and two
as the DVD aint out yet I assume that all torrents will be cinema copies and therefore poor quality

Actually my eyesight is pretty ace. I find the Palm easier to read than a book - the lighting is never a problem - can read in bed without a light on or in the metro with everyone crowded round me (unlike the assholes who unfold a paper in your face). I can carry loads of book, just the same as a true ebook reader, but I can also do loads of other stuff with it and best of all it's not made by Sony, so it doesn't use proprietary crap.

I probably mentioned before, but I got a Sony "MP3" player for my 18th birthday (this would be 5½ years ago) that wouldn't actually play MP3s, only ATRAC3S. I hardly used the thing and sold it on eBay. Damn Sony.

• Battery (forget to charge it overnight and you're buggered half way through the next day)
• Glare, sometimes in daylight really difficult to read.
• Small screen (it is a small screen!)
• Eye strain, (less so on my older trusty IIIxe my first pda)
• even with cleartype of clearview of what ever still hurt my eyes after a long session resulting in headaches.

Ok, points taken, however battery is not a problem - I always carry the charger in my backpack just in case, glare has not been a problem for me so far and most of the time I'm still inside anyway, small-screen is not a problem and same would be said of eye-strain - I find it more comfortable to read the Palm than a book.

Plus no restrictions on what I can read on it.

Glad you like your electronic paper though.
