I had an MP3 player with a similar "ebook" capacity—a device the size of a
cigarette lighter, with a screen the size of two thumbnails. It would
display about 40 characters of text at a time. It would soon drive anyone
crazy to try to read an ebook on it. (It might be better for Chinese,
Japanese, or Korean users, since each of their characters is an entire
word.)
