Looks like since I have been away the topic of e-books and the associated readers have fallen by the wayside.
I have added another Tool / Toy that has brought me a lot of satisfaction in e-book land. A Sony PRS-505. I love it. I still keep my X-50V for reading but the Sony is certainly a step up on the Axim when it comes to reading.
So I was throwing this comment out to see if there are any others interested in the Sony or your still plodding along with the Axim.

Just wondering.
