I know this is going off topic, but how well does it work as an eBook
reader?
Not terrific. I'd think that any Palm Pilot would be better. I was just
goofing around with the Cybiko, trying to find interesting things to so
with it. No backlight doesn't help for reading in bed.
I've used my Palm for the text files, but the
formatted HTML, and CHM
files don't work so well on that small of a screen. And my Palm can't
handle PDF. Is the Cybiko any better of a screen then a Palm? Can it do
anything beyond plain text?
I would rate the Palm screen as better than the Cybiko screen
