Hi everyone, I need an ereader for academic PDF files, usually A4 or letter in size. I found the KDXG a tad small for that - plus the lack of contrast meant the small fonts from the reduced pages were hard to read many times.
Does anyone know what is the diagonal size of an A4 page? I'm starting to think the only viable solution for my (academic) purposes is something at around 11-12 inches diagonal, and NOT 16:9 - I've tried my netbook on its side and it's a horrible proportion...
Anyone know my magic device? Has anyone tried something like the zenithing vs the KDXG?
Thanks!
