I was trying to get an e-book reader for a large collection of e-books I have stored on my home PC as. pdf. Taking into account price and the fact that ALL I will be doing on it is reading the .pdf files what would be a good buy?

http://www.bowindex.com/et2/ - this looks promising but I am not sure if I can; 1) Display .pdf or, 2) I have to download all the books from a specific site.

Any ideas or information would be much appreciated.

Try Adobe, they have the Acrobat Reader which is free and also have an ebook reader.

Go to their website and have a browse.

No, it apparently does not take PDF files, nor any other major formats like DJVU or CHM. I'd stay as far away from the eBookwise thing as possible.

-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

Thanks for your replys. Dunker, would you have any idea of a good e-book reader? Thanks again.

If you have a Palm device like Treo or LifeDrive then you can install Adobe Reader for Palm OS. MicroOlap has a CHM reader for Pocket PC, and there is an Adobe Reader for it as well. There's even Adobe for Symbian-baed cell phones, though reading that for any length of time might be grueling. None are dedicated devices like the ebook reader you mentioned, but the LifeDrive looks to have about the same size screen.
