I just knew this would happen, I did!
Engadget
noted last week that FINALLY there are some ebook readers coming out
that are under $300 with Wifi and the usual ebook readers
compatabilities. YAY!!!! This is what I’ve wanted all along. Of
course I have my PDA and its only a few months old. 
I like my PDA. I use my PDA all the time but for three things only
really–reading, my calendar and checking my emails. Since it goes
wherever I go, the Family calendar is always with me too and since I’m
always going in three different directions…this is awesome! I can use the PDA for tons of other things but don’t. I like that I could though. 
I look at these new ereaders coming out with wifi and think several things.
- I had THOUGHT I’d be buying books directly to my PDA and wanted
wifi for that reason. Well otherthan maybe two books, all have been
bought while on the computer and then transferred to my PDA. Why?
Because looking for books while on the PDA is not fun. The screen is
way too small. Its possible but a pain. So I guess in one sense I
wonder, would I want the ereader to be compatible with my computer? Yes. Though if the screen is bigger…maybe that wouldn’t be an issue. Maybe then I would buy more directly onto the PDA. - One thing though, I’ve always wanted versatility…being able to buy
while on the computer or the PDA was one of its selling points to me.
I didn’t/don’t want to be boxed in, restricted. So the new reader would
HAVE to do this for me. - Calendar. I have my calendar on there, coordinated from my
computer and considering I’m using it all the time, I’d want that to
still be possible without having to ‘reenter’ the information(I am NOT
entering all that stuff twice). - I check my emails with the PDA all the time–I’d want to be able to do that too.
- I LOVE the bigger size –I’ve always been sold on the bigger size.
Someday I might retire my PDA–in the meantime, I’m excited to see
the readers heading in what I consider to be the right direction both
in capabilities and price. YAY!
