I prefer MS Reader ebooks on the Dell Axim X50v running WM2003SE. I get excellent results reading my Baen ebooks online with this device.

Sony Reader. Text/RTF files are fine for me – I can drop ‘em on an SD card and go. It takes longer to get them on my Treo than it does the Reader and I get more battery life than a UMPC and an easier-to-read screen than a smartphone.

My favorite reader would have to have been my Toshiba e805 with Microsoft Reader. Unfortunately it couldn’t buy its own content and keeping a PC working that could finally sealed its fate.

Right now the only bunch that hasn’t screwed me with their DRM is Sony. But their reader leaves so much to be desired, the PDF reader is little short of a disaster. The new PRS-505 isn’t much of an improvement.

The Amazon ebook reader doesn’t interest me at all since there is no company that has screwed me harder with DRM than Amazon.

The iLiad is the FIAT of ebook readers: fix it again Tony! Its hard to keep it working.

I guess that leaves the new Bookean…

P1610 with ereader – it’s a natural!

Thanks Scotty; good catch. Early in his post, Paul says he uses MobiPocket on all of the devices, but at the end he does clarify no MobiPocket on the Sony. My mistake.

The Sony Reader doesn’t support MobiPocket.
