Today I was looking at eink readers, when I remembered I had various old PDAs, like a psion 5, palm m100 and palm 1000 sitting in the cupboard. Same same, right? Throw some epubs on there, all good? Bit of spit an polish, install some legacy apps, few rounds of Dope Wars…boom.
Well, no. Horrible viewing angles, back light not worth a shit, digitiser not calibrating…and the default calendar year?
Oh, you want to feel old?
