Ok, I know that may seem like an odd question for this forum, but hey what the hell why not ask. I am looing to get a PDA that will allow me to read ebooks and write notes and i'd rather not spend a lot of money. it will never be used to play MP3's, take pictures or anything and well I kind of have it narrowed down to 2 different ones: The PalmOne Zire 71 and the PalmOne Zire 71 and would like to see fi anyone has any information that might help with either one.

On the other side saying you read ebooks, what do you use to read them?

This will be available in September or October. It will be the most kick ass PDA available at that time.

ya but probably cost a fortune. Thats a little more then I need bro. I just want like a palm or soemthign that I can read ebooks or write stories when i have the urge to. I don't think I need something that costs me more then I get paid just to read books that i could just buy. The big thing is i found a internet site that has many of the older novels that I care to read that won't cost me a dime to download. I have already downloaded say 5 books that i would like to read, but I hate the idea of sitting in front of a computer screen to do it. If it was on a PDA I could carry it to work, read it at home watching TV, listening to the stereo or just before bed when I tend to read the most. If I could find soemthing like the two styles I posted that were good but somewhere less then say $200 hopefully it would do what i needed.

Yeah... for simple Sony is not the way...
