Ebook program

i need a portable one like the franklin e-book ,do they still make them ?

i’d like something roughly the size of a paperback. i don’t care if it’s twenty years old, or used, as long as it can read a variety of file types – stuff from project gutenberg, pdf’s (the latest ones, if possible), random proprietary formats… basically, i want to get free ebooks onto it, and, uh, read ‘em. maybe even buy some, if i’m feelin’ crazy. pda functionality would be nice, but is not, at all, necessary. a certain amount of product support, be it company or “fan” based, would be nice, and replacement parts would be good, too. any ideas?

i need a ebook reader along the lines of the cheapest one

i dont care it could be in a pda an mp3 player or by its self.
as long it has an ebook reader its fine

i dont want one with a realy small screen for i wear glasses

can anyone sugest any
i need the cheapest one i can find the sony is like 400 to 500 bucks

if i had that money id get a laptop
something not like the ds i could just a psp i want something i havent had before like a pda

I am planning to use it as a ebook reader when I am not driving. Which models can support this function?

I’m looking at buying a reader. ive looked at a lot of reviews for both the kindle and the sony but i can’t decide on which is best. they each have their down falls. the major i have with the kindle is that it is so expensive but when looking at book prices amazon had better prices.

thanks for your input

i was told about the kindle 2, but that price is to much for me. is there anything else out thats cheaper and stil able to hold large amounts of ebooks?

I’m looking at getting an eBook reader so I don’t have to carry a book with me everywhere and wreck them. Does anyone have any reviews or suggestions? I just graduated university so money is a priority. Also, I live in Saskatchewan so unless a miracle happens I’d have to get it online.

I am thinking about buying the palm tx, mostly for reading ebooks. However, I am not 100% sure if the Palm Tx is for me.

I work on industrial equipment on offshore oil rigs. I frequently find myself lugging my laptop or cumbersome schematic books into bilges and other nasty places. I want to buy an ebook reader that will let me display schematics (PDF format) which are generally about twice the size of a regular 8.5″X11″ sheet. It will need to have 4 way scrolling so that I can view the whole page in full size. It must also have a search feature, as I also frequently find myself searching for a single word in 1500+ page manuals. It would be nice if it were small in size (hopefully small enough to fit into a large coveralls pocket). Also, it would be good if the device is ruggedly designed (milspec, shock proof, water proof, etc). ooh yeah, and a backlight would be handy for those dark cramped spaces. Thanks!

I have lots of .lit files but I cannot get MS Reader to work, so can I use another ebook reader to convert and read these?
