Right now, I'm in a country where any electronic gear is a bit overpriced. Without considering what might be available in my particular (undisclosed) location:
What is the cheapest eBook reading solution available?
I found a site with LOT of free eBooks (ones which don't look horrible) and I would like to take advantage of the English titles which are hard to find here.
I considered my phone, but have not found an ebook reader, plus the screen would be a pain to read anything long on.
The Sony book reader, and the iLiad eReader are both VERY expensive, even in the States.
What about a palm? An old model palm or other pda? One that is easy on the eyes?
All suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks for answering 
Buy any Pocket PC / Windows Mobile 2002, 2003 2003SE or 2005 (WM5) device (they are pretty cheap on eBay). You can install Microsoft Pocket Reader for free - and there's THOUSANDS of free ebooks available online. It's a GREAT reader program - you'll never know how you did without it. Microsoft also supply a free plug-in for Microsoft Word that allows you to create ebooks from Word documents. Listed below also

I'd recommend a second-hand PDA for 100-170 USD.
Also check out the usenet newsgroup "alt.binaries.e-book" which might be available on your ISP's news server (NNTP).
