Regarding it being "too small" to comfortably read? Well, that's just subjective thus hardly worth arguing about, but I can say that the NC handles PDF far, far better than my 6" Sony did.
Regarding the iPad or any other 10" tablet... Well, I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds a $250 difference in price not insignificant. |
Yes I do
I owned a Nook Color, currently have an iPad, Galaxy Tab, Kindle DXG and Kindle 3. Because experience, I can tell that anything below 10" is too small for a PDF document. PDFs are not ebooks, so they are basically being forced to display on such a small area, making very difficult to read or enlarge pictures. A tablet is better and faster for that, let's say Xoom or iPad.
However, if eink is really a must and someone is on a tight budget, the Kindle 3 is the best alternative. If price is not a constraint, Sony readers are better. But 10" is more comfortable than 6 or 7 for sure, at least for PDF documents.
But you are right, iPads are not cheap. However, you can get a decent tablet for the money you paid. iPads 1 can be found used for about $350.00 which still I think is a very competitive price
I've tried RepliGo and ezPDF, and they don't compare to GoodReader. But that's my opinion.
