Linda speaks with Preston Gralla, executive editor for the Downloads area of ZDNet's Website, about how to read electronic books. They compare the Palm Pilot, Compaq's new IPAC handheld, and the Rocket e-book reader. The Rocket reader is soon to be replaced by a new generation of e-book reading devices manufactured by RCA. Gralla says that now might not be the right time to buy the devices. (8:00) The ZDNet Website can be found athttp://www.zdnet.com
