Have you visited Brighthand or PocketPC Thoughts and their forums? Might find some deals there.

My Tungsten E plays mp3's, has a great screen, and has a good battery life. Even with the Palm hard case it's small! I love it.

I have a 1910 and I love it for the most part. It is roughly the size of a Palm Vx and is excellent for taking your library with you everywhere you go. My only real complaint is the battery. To get it to last through one 8 hour work shift reading on and off (so we'll say 4-5 hours continuous use) I usually have to lower the screen brightness to the second to lowest setting. Using the speaker tends to drain the batt quick also. I have another program for it that will lower the CPU speed (or raise it) but that hasn't made a noticable difference batterylifewise. The screen brightness tends to make the biggest, and this unit really has a brilliant screen. I just wish they'd have included a little bit heavier duty a bettery. Hope this helps.

I can't go that low... i go on the middle setting, and i'll be lucky to get 4 hrs of it from reading. Do you use Turbo Tray to lower the speed? I find with 100mhz, i can get another hour or so from reading books Turbo Tray
