I'm new on this forum. Don't mind my nickname, after 5 attempts to enter a nonused name and retyping the password I put enough numbers behind it to be sure that the name doesn't exist yet. ;-)

I'm interested in buying a ebookreader but I haven't found an adequate reader yet.
Hopefully you guys can give me good advise.

What am I looking for?
- relatively cheap: 150-200 Euro's including all costs
- relatively great screensize: at least 8 inches and preferebaly 10 inches
- decent resolution (greyscale is less important)
- I must be able to upload any PDF's from any storage medium (PC, flash-memory) to the reader

What is not nessecary?
- WiFi
- possibility to buy content
- ability to play music
- dictionary
- text-to-speech software

I'm a bit worried if 6 inches is gonna be large enough to print a standard educational book which has a length of a bit over 20 cm.
What's your experience? Can those readers print typical universitybooks (math, physics) on the screen? Of course you can zoom in but don't you then get the problem that the width doesn't fit anymore on the screen?
