I know this is going off topic, but how well does it work as an eBook 
reader? 

I'm looking for something fairly portable for ebooks. I have stacks of 
books and manuals in either HTML, Text, CHM (crappy HTML), or PDF format. 
And I haven't read them all yet because currently my computer is the best 
place to read them, which conflicts with me getting most of my reading 
done on the crapper.

So I either need some portable unit to start reading ebooks, or I have to 
install a computer in my bathroom... humm... no for the sake of my 
marriage, I'd better just go with a portable unit.

I've used my Palm for the text files, but the formatted HTML, and CHM 
files don't work so well on that small of a screen. And my Palm can't 
handle PDF. Is the Cybiko any better of a screen then a Palm? Can it do 
anything beyond plain text?
