Personal information in the palm of your hand

Date of Review:  Apr 21, 2003
The Bottom Line: Despite attractive features and operation, a change to a less reflective screen would greatly benefit. Test one by all means, but you'll still find me at the bookstore browsing paperbacks.
Review: Imagine sitting down at the breakfast, table of a morning with your eggs and a cup of coffee or a glass of juice. You reflect on the beautiful morning (perhaps also on the previous night's revelry) and you reach for the day's news. Sounds pretty...

Pros
nice idea
Cons
does not perform as advertised
 

Not the best ebook, not the best PDA. But very nice nonetheless

Date of Review:  Apr 25, 2001
The Bottom Line: The ebookman is perfect for those who wants the cool gadgety-ness of an ebook, and still have the functionality. If you want the mp3 features, get more memory.
Review: I just got my ebookman 901 a while ago, and my first reaction was positive. The screen was a nice size, compared to other PDAs, and the construction seemed solid. It was a little frustrating not being able to play with it out of the box, seeing how...
