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!
For me the best reader for PDF files is an iPad with GoodReader. The cropping feature makes PDF files very readable. The dimensions of A4 paper are 8.27 X 11.69 inches.
