I love my Zune30 and one thing that I was thinking about recently was Reader for the Zune.

Not necessarily a fully branded version of Reader, but something built into the Interface.

I think it would be the first PMP designed with an eBook interface. Also the screen size on it is perfect.

It's built on the same platform as Windows Mobile so there wouldn't be too much work in adapting the code.


Any chance of this happening? I know it'd make me a happy man since I'd finally be able to have a good MP3 player and eBook reader without having to carry around multiple devices.

We customers definately need an ebook reader! The zune would be perfect for
it. I actually bought it believing Microsoft would create one for it.

I love my Zune, but this seems like a very big hole that would be easy to
fill.

Please, pretty Please!?

I second the request for a Reader client for the Zune. The only reason I
still havemy Dell PDA is for Reader.

Next, I want a Zune with built-in phone, Exchange connectivity,
browser...errr...basically an iPhone without the Apple logo on it. :)
