Still, our eyes can get tired faster from trying to read on such a small screen. Nothing compares with the feeling of holding a real book in our hands and I think that's the healthiest way to read. <br>______________ <br>Mathew Farney - <a rel="nofollow">Web Hosting</a> The good thing about being able to read ebooks on a PDA is that we don't spend so much time looking at a big screen.

Please do share if you find a link to it. Before discovering this program by Merlin Software, I was able to read <strong>some</strong> eBooks on my PDA, but usually the text was way too small. What I like about Merlin's software is that you can modify the resolution so that it looks best on whatever PDA or iPod that you have. Gabriella,

I haven't tried it yet but the one for smaller-sized TVs works well. Will look for a place to get it and post back.

I used to spend a lot of time listening to content on my iPhone, but my lifestyle has changed in a way that I do not do that as much anymore. I do, however, have frequent 10-15 minutes stints when I can read, which is why something like the eBook to Images program works so well for me. Thanks again for sharing that news about Adobe, Steven! Steven,

I have started using the 'read out loud' service on Adobe Acrobat professional , it's not brilliant but it lets me listen to the ebook and I can record it and download it to my ipod and listen to it whilst driving.

The screen is small but I could cycle the fonts larger if I wanted. The reader I use pages rather than scrolls so it's quite book like and reading experience is just fine. The key plus for me is that I already carry the phone so there is nothing extra to think about, carry, or keep charged up. I get free pre-packaged books from http://www.booksinmyphone.com I have an internet enabled phone so I can install direct to the phone, but I had installed in the past from my PC.

But for younger people, it may work out fine. Age is catching up with me, I cant hardly see my laptop screen let alone the small screen of a pda or ipod.

I would consider that. However, since I normally only read a book once, printing out anything bigger than that would just be a massive waste of paper, not to mention the cost of ink for the printer. I'd much rather put eBooks on an iPod or PDA where they could stay forever so that I can refer back to them. Also, I tend to carry my iPod with me, so that way I will always have something to read when I am standing in lines, waiting for something, etc. My iPod is a lot smaller and portable than my entire eBook collection would be if I printed them all out! :) For a decent-size book (maybe 40 or less pages?)
