Reading for Research
As I mentioned in the intro thread, I've been searching for my perfect e-reader for two years. Maybe it's time I settled, but I'm hoping to get some expert opinions before I do.
What would you recommend for someone who wants...
1. to read public-domain books from GoogleBooks (not just "classics" offered by many e-book stores, but the more obscure stuff, too);
2. to highlight and make notes easily, preferably in one step, without having to choose from a menu;
3. to export those highlighted passages and notes into a program like EverNote, or even just MS Word;
4. the features that make an e-reader great for pleasure-reading, too: wi-fi connectivity, an extensive and easy-to-shop store, light weight.
I may be wrong about this, but it seems like e-reader manufacturers are focusing on one kind of reader (who reads for pleasure) and overlooking a whole market of potential buyers who need to work and interact with text.
Anyway, looking forward to your suggestions. Thanks!
