Anyone read eBooks?

[mummer43]

I just got a Palm TX handheld and I was wondering how ebooks work on a PDA. I am an avid reader and it sounds like something I'd be interested in.

For casual reading it might work for you. When I read it is for information, thus I have to mark it up. I have to print it out.

Personally, I can't get comfortable with eBooks. You're missing the intimacy you get when curled up with a good paper book... you just can't emulate that with a Palm or PocketPC

P.S. IMHO

I think Microsoft Reader will run on a PDA. It will remember the last page and the furthest page read and indexes your books for you.

Here is a link to a publisher who has a bunch of mostly sci-fi books in microsoft reader format for free download, and the reader is free from microsoft.

I'm pretty sure that I will feel the same way. I'm going to try one and ther TX comes with an ebook reader. I think it might come in handy for travel, but I doubt I'd use it at home.
