So I should at the very least see the entire widht of the page, not just the left or right side of the page what happens when you zoom in with a PDF-reader on your PC/laptop.
Furthermore it would be preferable to comfortably read an entire page which fits on the screen when you have to read a complicated explanation about a figure.
I have never held an ebookreader so I realy have no clue what an ordinary scientific (exact) book looks like on such a screen. Pictures on the internet don't help because I have no clue if the size is correct.
I should try to find a shop in my city where they sell ebookreaders.
Odds are small but if any of the Dutch guys (or girls) here would know a shop in Eindhoven which sells ebookreaders I would appreciate it.
I like that big size of Kindle but it's still quite expensive, another brand which seems interesting to me is IRex but unfortunately this company went bankrupt. Do you guys have any thoughts about the evolution with regard to prices and screensizes in about half a year based upon an extrapolation on the evolution over the last years.

If you want to read technical PDF's you really need to be looking at the Sony 950, 7 inch screen with great PDF support, or the DXG, 10 inch screen ok PDF support but with a hackable program that works really well according to folks who need it. There is a Pocketbook out there that is suppose to be good with PDFs and has a large screen.
The problem is that they are all out of your price range. The only Sony in your price range is the 350 and that is a 5 inch screen.
What I have seen in terms of ereader development is a lot of focus on the 6 inch readers and very limited focus on anything larger. The larger readers are no where near as popular because they are not as portable.
