Hello everyone,

I am looking into buying an e-reader. A lot of books that I have are in PDF format (they are mostly text though), so I will have to take that into consideration when making my purchase.

Now I know that due to the usual characteristics of PDF files (usually a big page size) it is often better to have a larger screen size, but so far the impressions that I have read about the new Asus 900 are not so positive. Also, Amazon Kindle [DX] is not really viable for me, because I live in Europe and it takes a lot of time to deliver, there are customs, shipping fees, potential problems with repair etc.

In the 6 inch area I was looking a lot at the Bebook Neo and Club and also at refurbished Bebook One's that they are selling. I would like to know how much of a strain is reading Pdf's on a 6inch screen, is it possible to read it without much frustration or I should rather wait till more of the 9 + inch readers come out?

Thanks!
