Don't brush that off lightly, a good PDA has lots and lots of nice features. For me personally, it's worth reading books on a small screen in exchange for the other uses that a PDA provides.

If all you want the unit for is simply reading books, then get a Kindle. You can't beat it in the e-reader only category.
I have no use for a PDA I'm afraid.

The Kindle may fail on the supported files. I need pdf, rtf and lit files supported. I'm still hunting about to get my answers - I'm not going to buy a reader that only supports its own file formats or purchases - that's a given.
