EBook Reader Hardware

In order to read ebooks you need to have something to read them with. This site is dedicated to Handheld devices. More specifically PalmOS devices or Windows Pocket PC devices. A lot has changed since I first put it up. When I first put this site up, there were a lot of things one had to consider when buying a device to read ebooks. The resolution of the screen. Should you get monochrome or spend the extra for color? What type of batteries should it use? All of these differences had a price tag tied to them. Today, this has all changed. There is still a huge range of hardware available, but the most basic of basic PDA's that you could buy today would far exceed any and all requirements that used to need to be considered. If you buy a new Palm based or a Windows CE based PDA today, you won't be able to buy one that wouldn't be able to do it easily. So the cheapest one you can find will work. For basic hardware for reading ebooks, the Palm platform has a wider range of devices. So the cheapest entry level device you could buy for the time being would be a Palm based device. There are also devices dedicated for reading ebooks. I don't know a whole lot about them other than they can be a lot more expensive and you can read pretty much anything you want on a PDA. I don't really see their purpose anymore.
