There is a great demand for bigger screen devices I guess. Me personally is looking for something like 8 inches or bigger. But there are actually none to choose from. Yes, there is Kindle with pure PDF support, IREX going bankrupt and some others. Basically what I need is good sharpness, good PDF support, folder support, multilingual support, touchscreen could be good (but not with additional layer, glare - is killer for me). Wacom screens are descent but still lack brightness. So there are none so far that would suite my needs. Is it because the cost to manufacture such a divice is too high, technology is not there yet or smth else?

P.S. iPad fans, please do not interfere. I will never ever read on LCD screen.
