Samsung Galaxy Tab:
My absolute favorite for now.
It's the perfect form factor for me.
Some are negative about the 16:9 ratio. Personally, I find it perfect. Did love the similar form factor of Sony 900 as well.
I prefer, being able to hold such units in one hand. Not just grabbing them at one corner, but actually closing the hand around it.
7" is big enough for reading, most eBook readers have 6".
I find the colors vivid and brillant, although some reviews state otherwise.
...
I would be really interested in the Samsung if it can make points against the current (small) 9.7 inch group of eReaders. My current position is "the larger the screen the better" for technical and scientific pdf.

On the other hand - there not many large screens ereaders on the market: Kindle DX available but clumsy for pdf, the new PocketBook 902/3 struggling its way into public perception (see German threads in this forum), the announced ASUS not to being visible as of today and the IREX reader line being dead for some months now!

mgmueller - would you be able to give us some insights into the reading world of the Samsung? How does it handle specifically the technical pdf? Thanks.

Klaus
