Hi all, Having discovered the Gutenberg project (www.gutenberg.org) I've decided to get myself a PDA. I do have a laptop, and while it also doubles as a hot-water bottle in bed at night, I thought a PDA might be a more practical solution for reading books offline.
Of course, having a (very) limited budget, I'll probably be shopping at eBay. An of course, I'd like something which will talk to my Linux PCs. For cost reasons primarily, but also for battery life, I find myself leaning towards Palm devices, there's lots of cheap monochrome devices available, but I wondered if anyone has opinions on how practical a 160x160 screen would be for the application....and speaking of which, are there decent text viewers available? What about HTML format books? What's all this AvantGo / Web-to-go stuff about? Sure a Linux PDA would be nice, but (with the exception of the VTECH device which only sold about 6 units, and the Agenda-VR) they tend to require more expenive hardware. I'm hoping to be up and running for under £40 Any advice gratefully received, TIA C. _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
