MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - E-Book Reader for Reading programming books in CHM and PDF format

I've been reading programming books (CHM & PDF) on a Pocketbook 302 6" reader. It's not painful but almost is (at times). I switched to a 9.7" tablet (Le Pan II) which helps with diagrams and code but the reading experience is still not optimum. I've recently ordered a Pocketbook 912 off of ebay since Pocketbook is no longer selling the 912 in the U.S. Either that or the Boox M92 would probably do you well. I think you could probably convert your chm files to another format (mobi or epub) and read them on a Kindle DX but I don't consider that an optimum solution.

My reader arrives at the end of the week. I'll try to post if I get a chance to test it.
