Hi JAL1639,
I'd just get a cheap PDA off ebay and add memory to it. There used to be dedicated ebook readers but these seem to have taken the back seat.
Are the ebooks using any particular software? Another advantage an old pda has over a dedicated ebook reader is that she can use a variety of readers...
Cheerio,
Hellene
I would like to get my wife a handheld for ebooks. Which is best and does anyone make a handheld JUST for ebooks?
Thanks.
