veiwing pdf files on the go

[zdreg]

cheap device to view pdf files on the go?
Something hand held size like a PDA or slightly larger . I was thinking about getting an ipod touch, but maybe there are cheaper alternatives. Laptops/netbooks are not in the equation.

Any suggestions are welcomed.

Just about any Android/Win Phone 7/iOS phone or tablet can do this.

Hundreds of devices to choose from - just pick one with your size/price requirements.

If you don't need phone functionality and really just for reading PDFs

Kindle Touch is $99 with WiFi

or $79 for regular Kindle.

thx but there are technical problems with pdfs on these devices.

also if possible a device which would accept a flash drive would be useful.

At that price point you're better off buying whatever printer is on sale at Staples and making physical copies until the toner runs out.
