Some Palm V quirks you should know about before you buy

136 Helpfuls 137 Helpfuls

Pros Sexy-cool

Cons Battery is not replaceable, couple of bugs that can accidentally drain your battery

Note: This review was updated 6/6/00.

No question about it, the Palm V is sexy. Before you buy one, though, you should be aware of some of its quirks, some more annoying than others. These quirks are especially apparent if you currently own (and like) the Palm III.

Cons Glare can make it hard to read.

Recommended it? Yes

I fell in love with the idea of an E-Book reader when I saw a friend using her Kindle to read a newspaper. I've wanted one ever since, but the price always made it prohibitive. Still, I've been looking at both the Kindle and Sony eBook reader for awhile. This past Valentine's day, I came across a... Read full review »

27 Helpfuls 28 Helpfuls

Pros Format friendly, expandable memory, and good size and weight

Cons Many complain of the glare and recommend trading up to the 650

Recommended it? Yes
