Rev,

This is a misuse of Palmtops.  They are designed for writing
small notes and not for writing complete articles.  Some
people are using it to even write programs but that is
misuse as well. 

Again, I reiterate my position: slightly larger screen size
+ higher screen resolution + ClearType will increase readability
tremendously.  I guarantee that people will get a shock come
next X-mas.

BTW, I think we are off-topic for this list.
