What model of Palm do you have?  $25-30 is way too much - here's an  
example for a Palm m515 - only $3.75 w/$1.99 shipping:

Same here.  That's my only real gripe with the Newton - readability in  
low/no light.  The early monochrome Palms were no different, and I had  
the same problem with them;  but the later models overcame this and  
are a joy to use in low light (if only the screen was a bit bigger...).


Ok, I can hear you guys grumbling in the background:  "enough of these  
off-topic threads!"   I'll try to comply.. :-)
