I use a tungsten|C with the little built in keyboard.

It's adequate for reading, font sizes can be adjusted as well. I'm not trying to replicate a book feel, I'm just trying to read content, just as I would read the news from Avantgo.com.

I've read the longest on a plane flight from NYC to LA maybe at 3-4 hours. No eye burning, but I can read screens for long periods. I cannot say the same for books.

thanks for the manybooks, there are many PD book offerings. Mostly I get books like many people get mp3s, off the networks. They are growing in scope and offerings. If the publishing companies don't get them locked down at least as a basic offering regardless of reader platform, they may be bogged down just like the recording industry, especially as manuscripts are already easy and portable to leak.
