Sounds like a Pocket PC would be ideal. Buy a 2nd hand one.

Yeah you can get acrobat free on Pocket PC but not sure whether its available on palm or mobile.

Some humble suggestions for a reader device:

1. PalmOne Zire 31 for around €165 would fit the bill, they are cheap as chips and as long as your not outdoors in bright sunshine the 4096 colour screen is fine. Adobe themselves make a free reader for palmos, which has excellent reformating options.

2. Nokia N-Gage (Circa €99, dunno try buy+sell) & pdf+ (€22)
I think there a bit dodgy but suppose it's a workable solution.

Don't know of any other, more cost effective solutions

If you can't afford a PDA, even 2nd hand. Why on earth would you need to read PDF's on the move?
