I know this is rather OT, but as it requires basic geekishness to answer,
I thought I might try to get away with it.

I want to be able to take my RFCs, O'Reilly CD bookshelves, and other
geekish literature with me when I'm away from my computer. I'd like to
spend around \$100 US (maybe I'm dreaming) but could go as high as
\$200-something if I found something that is worth it.

I can't afford a laptop.

I can't use a Palm Zaire (sp?) or the like because I have a motor-control
problem that prevents me from using the grafitti pad, or from being overly
precise with the stylus in general.

I've looked at the Palm Tungstens (the ones with the actual keyboard
buttons) but they seem to be out of my price range, and the screens are
rather small.

I like the RCA ebooks, but they only seem to read their weird ebook format
(as far as I can tell), not plain text, PDF, or HTML.

Any ideas on what else I can look at (preferably more portable than a lot
of printer paper and some binders--I already thought of that)?

Anybody know if it's possible to hack an RCA ebook to work with standard
file formats (or if they already do and the RCA spec sheets just stink)?

TIA

Susan

P.S.-- I use Linux, of course, so whatever gadget I get would have to be
able to have a conversation with my computer without too much trouble.
