But i still have a few questions i was hoping i could get help with.
First off are these prices reasonable?
Does anyone have experience with using one of these two devices as a alternative to study books?
Is there any information about how long most these devices last? (Like the first ipod generation had a reputation of breaking after 1.5 year, its a lot of money for me and since its 2hand i wont have warrenty.)
Do both devices run linux? And are they both evenly editable?
Do they have a bookmark function in wich i can quickly switch from page A to B and how many bookmarks are possible?
Also any tips and advice about wich one to choose would be more then welkom.
Many many thanks in advance

For .pdfs go for DR1000. Price is ok... better than ok in fact.
As rvs has already mentioned be extra careful with the screen. Company disappeared and there isn't any kind of support.
Just note that paper books are faster to search for some items on the TOC, index or passsing fast through the pages.
Ah, and don't forget to install mackx's improvements.
