I'm ready to buy my first device now. But still hesitating between 2 :
- buying now the new Kindle DX Graphite ( can be shipped to France now )
or
- waiting september : the coming of the new Asus eeeTablet ?

What I'm ready to pay : in the $300 - $400
What I read :
- PDF ( mostly between 1 and 2 Mo, the biggest one : 5 Mo ) -> I need a 9' screen device.
- old novels from the public domain downloaded from Internet Archive or free-ebooks sites ( all are available in Mobi, Kindle, or epub without DRM )
What I don't want to read on a e-reader :
Reference books ( I prefer to buy these in paper form ) and recent novels ( I prefer to go at my local public library )
Questions :
1° Can I read books reproduced in PDF in scan/photo ( like yearly Library of Congress catalog of copyright entries ) with such readers ?
2° Is there a great difference ( for reading ) between the new Pearl screen ( Kindle ) and the Wacom one ( Asus ) ?
I don't need a tablet, actually : I prefer waiting until end 2011 and buying a reader only device now.
