My Viewsonic Viewpad 100 eBook Project
This is a followup to my previous post A Cheap Alternative to the Pricey Amazon Kindle 2: Ten-Year-Old Windows CE Handheld PCs for $100 or Less. The Viewpad 100 was another Super PDA that came out about 10 years ago for $1000. I've been able to pick up several for less than a tenth of that price. The 10-inch screen makes it great to use as an ebook reader, and it holds up to 16 GB: 8GB in the CF slot, and another 8GB CF card in the PCMCIA slot. But you can't use up all 16GB with ebooks, eh? So what do you put in there? I'll let you know in some subsequent posts.
I'm going to give one of these to my brother Tim and another to my high school English teacher who helps out my 84-year-old father who lives alone. Yeah, a Kindle would be nice, but this is more fun.
