You are right. I guess 903 might be a bit too heavy for reading in bed or carrying around. 113 is a killer price.
On this I can confirm it gets to 115% - at least on one book, perhaps it depends on the original page format (miy documents are generally A4), if you are interested I can check a few more books. I have also read djvu books after "brissing", but in that case I am not sure what percentage zoom it corresponds to (again, I presume it depends on the original margins - surely though passing your books through Briss is the most efficient way to fit the widest text)

As for the 903, for me is not weight (and it reads very comfortably in bed, on your lap), but size and the fact that I have not yet found a good cover. So I am terrified at the idea of breaking it while carrying it around in an overpacked backpack! So the rare times I took it with me (before I got also the 360) I put it in a separate "dedicated" bag which I handled as if it were fragile eggs - too much trouble, really, especially when lugging around with other luggage, until I get a proper cover and additional protective case - yes I know I am paranoid
