When I first though of buying an e-reader the purpose intended was to help me read and access all the Programming and Game Designing PDFs I have, but I don't have enough money for a 9.7" now and as I wanted to read some books too secondarily I bought a Kindle and thought I could still try to use to read PDFs. But now I use Kindle much more for reading novels.
On the product itself, I'm a potential buyer, but I'm waiting for it to mature and I have to save some money. So I recommend that you wait a bit if this is going to be your first reader. Kindle DX I think is only worth it if you exploit it to update it to the Kindle 3 software, and you can use Duokan too that may still be better for PDFs. The other option is Pocketbook Pro 902/903, this one still has some problems but is a bit more stable, particularly the 902 is the more secure one if I'm not mistaken, as 903 still has some issues. And sony 950, I think it may be a bit small in relation to the other ones.
Well sorry for the long post. Bad habit of mine, hope I don't bore you to death  |
From what I have seen so far and judging by the advance that they have had on the market Kindle/Amazon and Sony are should be due with some good tablets. Next step for Kindle is touch screen for the 9-10" and stylus while Sony has toget bigger 10"
Although I have seen many people crying for PDF related issues I don;t think that statistically we represent the majority and the big number of the customers and for that reasons these features will not be developed before other things get fixed or implemented....
