Now that Pocketbook Pro 903 is almost shipping, I think I'm ready to break down.
For me it has enough of the features I want:
- 1200 x 825 resolution, 9.7" screen (a mid-res screen, but best available in resolution)
- micro-sdhc slot for expansion
- pen for making scribbles / notes
- pdf, rtf, html/jpg/png, doc and djvu support
- basic search (not full library search?)
I was ready to order Sony PRS-950SC due to it's dual memory card slot, but it has much lower resolution screen (there's a third party utility for djvu support).
Kindle DXG looked nice, but I'd rather have a pen than a keyboard and no-memory card support is just too restrictive (many of my files are in hundreds of megabytes).
Guess it's understandable that the specific requirements a researcher has (big hi res screen, pdf support, marking ability) are not just that big of a market segment.
Hopefully somebody will produce such a reader/note-taker in years to come, instead of producing the same run-of-the-mill 5"-6" ereader knock-off, which the market is now saturated with.
