Portable PDF viewers (was: Re: Semi-OT: Apple iPad)

I suppose this may be considered passe in this modern world of iPads and eBook readers (here on cctalk, of all places!), but I use an old Tablet PC (an Acer Travelmate C110 - cost me all of $200 on eBay a couple of years back) for PDF viewing away from my desktop (i.e. on the workbench). It's nowhere near as light as a Nook, but it's considerably more functional -- I use it as a dumb terminal, do some light coding, and can annotate PDFs with the stylus if need be. It's still pretty small - it has a 10.4" 1024x768 screen, weighs somewhere around 3lbs, and is convertible between a "tablet" form factor and a normal "laptop" with keyboard. Only downside is that the battery life's not all that good -- I get maybe an hour and a half on a charge. But it does what I need for viewing most PDFs (I still sometimes prefer to print them out, though, depending on the content...) and I don't have to fight with proprietary hardware to do it. - Josh Teo Zenios wrote:
