the only reason I didn't suggest this was that they tend to be a lot more expensive on the secondhand market than non-phones.
The second-hand smartphone is ancient - Android 1.6 OS, which is, what, about 100 years in tech time? - but functional, and will ease me into contemporary handheld electronics. Portable calendar FTW.
...one thing it doesn't seem comfortable doing is electronic library loans. Drat. Must find better apps, or an OS upgrade, if 1.) possible and 2.) the owner doesn't mind.
Good to know about the Kindle paging; the black-flashy thing seemed really distracting when I tried the e-ink readers.
