Default I need a palm PC for PDF e-books.....



I have tons of ebooks, and am looking for the best palm PC to be able
to read them on the go. It can't have a tiny, tiny text font size,
as I am an older guy and the vision is not so great anymore.

If you cannot read tiny tiny text, why get a gadget with
a tiny tiny screen rather than a laptop?

With my glasses, its nearly 20-20. But I still don't want to be
straining a lot to read it. I have a Dell large-screen laptop, and
it has its uses, but not what you would want to tote to the dr. office
waiting room, when you only need to read an e-book! As for text size,
it all depends on just how small the palm PCscreen is, what font
sizes can be selected...while still not having too few words on-
screen at the same time. The Palm Lifedrive mobile 4GB looks pretty
good, and even has wi-fi. 4 gigs is a lot of e-books!
