Is there a portable pdf viewer?

londonman81

I'm looking for a portable device which will allow me to view pdf files while on the move (trains etc).

I've done a Google search and nothing convincing seems to come up.

Does such a device exist?

Thanks!

Laptop?

What mobile phone do you have?

I have a Nokia N80 and N95 - both have Adobe PDF installed on them to view PDF files.

I don't have one of those phones - only a Samsung E900. As for a laptop, that's be the obvious answer but I don't think I want to spend £300 just to read some pdf's.

Ideally I'd like a palm sized device which costs no more than £100.

I know that there are ebook readers, but they're usually over 100 quid and use a proprietary format for books, but I don't know of anything other than a WAP/3G web-enabled mobile that would do the job.

Have you tried looking at the Adobe website? They might have something on there that could help.

An iPod might work, forgot about that (easy to do as I don't own one): as long as Apple have got a version of Adobe Reader that will run on it.
