I'm looking for a PDA that works with Macs (I have a PC, but I'd rather not have to transfer everything I want to sync over to it), hopefully inexpensive. All I ask that it has:
~Good battery life (at least several hours)
~The basic organization functions
~Ability to read documents (I'm thinking of downloading some e-Books to read on something while I'm on campus, but my 15" Ti PowerBook is too big to randomly pull out just to read a book)
I don't really need something that plays music or video, or has anything really advanced like WiFi or BT. Just something that works well, is in good shape, and isn't going to cost me a small fortune on my poor student budget.

Almost all PDA's sync with Macs all you need is the Missing Sync software.

I have a Palm Zire m150 that would fit the bill perfectly. It even looks Mac-like....
It's yours for $20+ actual shipping.

If you could provide a shipping quote, preferrably for USPS Priority Mail, it would be appreciated. I've got two offers to sell me some more advanced PDAs for great prices (one with a Wifi card and bluetooth), but I'm considering getting a cheaper one for my Dad now for his birthday.

Well, when I said cheap about what to get for my Dad, I was referring to the Zire M150 I was offered for $20+shipping, because he needs even less than I do.
As far as what I've been offered, there's your offer and Flyyvon's offer (which I'm considering btw, Flyyvon, if you could let me know a shipping amount and provide a few pictures it would be greatly appreciated), but right now I'm also being offered an HP PDA w/ bluetooth and Windows Mobile, along with a 256 MB SD card and a SDIO Wifi card for roughly $130 shipped.
Basically, for what I'd want for my dad's use, cheap is less than $50 because his needs would be extremely basic. Cheap for my uses would probably be around $100-$120 plus shipping, because I'd prefer a color screen and something that's got at least a bit of power behind it. The only reason I'm considering the current offer I have with the included Wifi card is because parts of my campus just got wireless, so it might be cool to have in case I wanna do something online without having to whip out my 15" PB.
