This reader runs WinCE 3.0

This is the machine I want! I wonder if it can sync via ActiveSync. It has a 600x800 screen, serial, USB, modem ports, and a PCMCIA slot. Although it doesn't have eReader (and it's strange they do not include MS Reader either), they include uBook and MobiReader. If it essentially runs as a PocketPC, this is THE device for e-book lovers!

Update: Oops. Spoke too soon; the machine costs $750 (that's quite a cold shower upon my ardor.)

    Look into the ViewSonic Viewpad 100, typically a few hundred on eBay (right now I see 3 with BINs of $305).. it's a Win CE 3.0 Machine (same as the one you were talking about) but it has 10.4" screen, 128MB RAM, 32MB ROM, CF Type II and PCMCIA Slot, USB port.. you can install uBook, etc. of course. More info in this eBay auction (I have no affiliation with this seller, just like how through his item description is): http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=38331&item=5724035628&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

    You can pick up a docking cradle and such as well: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3709&item=6712079215&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

    Seems to fit your needs.. :)
