I am starting graduate study in august and a large screen ereader with good pdf capabilities (landscape continuous, zoom maybe?) and good contrast would be a great help. The large screen devices currently available seem to be too expensive as they have wifi,3G etc which I do not require. I would just like to read academic journal articles, assignments and the occasional scanned textbook.
Would you advise me to wait for the large screen devices set to hit the market soon (Pocketbook 901 looks delicious

, asus dr950 or the astak electra might do too) or get the iRex dr800s now? I had originally ruled out the smaller screened devices, but are there any that I should consider? Thanks in advance.
