I'm sure he was, but in his original post he said he had both the
iphone and the TX, and in this sentence he acts like you had to swipe
the TX to turn a page. In fact none of my TX readers have the swipe
function, only the tap, button, or D ring.

Yes, I think Sony made some of the best Palms. That scroll wheel was a
great idea. I always preferred the color models for ebook reading but
the early color models suffered from poor battery life. My TX and TE2
get about 6 hours of reading time on a charge. However I still suffer
my black and white Palm m125 (AAA batteries) when camping. I can get
35 hours out of a set.

Yes Palm fiction is my favorite reader too.
