 EV> Bob,

 EV> That 4.2" Ereader sounds to me like it would be a iPod.

 It's similar, but Android OS and much cheaper.

 EV> I know someone who didn't want a Smart cell phone so he got
 EV> a iPod instead and loves it.

 I've used one, it's nice, but very expensive.

 EV> I think he said he can do most of what the phones do with
 EV> out having to pay a monthly fee just to carry it around.

 The only thing you can't do is connect without wifi. The one I
 used the owner put Skype on it, and I used it to make a phone
 call through Skype.

 EV> I haven't taken the step yet to carry either of those
 EV> devices.

 I can't, due to cost.

 EV> The highest tech level that I've arrived at is carrying a
 EV> Point'nShoot Digital Camera on my belt and having a SDHC to
 EV> USB card reader in the accessory pouch, in case I want to
 EV> show some pics off the 8GB SD card and the place where I am
 EV> doesn't have a SDHC card reader on the
 EV> computer/printer/all-in-one/what-ever.

 EV> I also have a USB Thumbdrive in the accessory pouch too.

 I bought a portable CD burner, that will read a thumbdrive and
 write to CD without computer. It is supposed to read an SD card
 but that didn't work. However, the adapter will work just fine.
 I bought it on sale, cheap, cause it really wasn't very popular.
 How many pictures do you usually put on a card before you move
 them to your computer? I don't do 4 Gigs worth.
