Hey,
First of all, I have no e-book reader, and, of course I want my choice to be the best for me. Here we go:
What I care the most:
Good E-ink, with good contrast (no LCD)
Reasonable PDFs reading (but they all are in landscape mode)
Good battery (long lasting and, even if a bit hard to replace, thatīs possible to do so)
Small device (Screen about 6 or 7 inches)
No more then 200 dollars, preferentially
What a care a bit:
Ability to have some apps, specially notepad
Good keyboard, either physical or not (but I prefer physical)
Expandable memory
Ability to have audibooks
Text to speech
What I donīt care that much:
Touch screen, if the e-reader makes up for it. On the other hand, although I could like a touch screen, the e-reader, would seem more fragile. Of course, that I would treat it very well, with case and those kind of things, but a scrach I donīt know how, may "show up" and "kill the screen sensibility".
So far, for me, Kindle is winning the fight. The other competitors are Sony (950) and Poketbook (Pro 603), but they're a bit too expensive.
I'd like to have a e-reader until Christmas, so I can wait to see if Kindle 4 is announced or until pocketbook pro 603 starts selling in US, so that I can read a proper review, and that prices fall a bit.
I didnīt like any other that I saw, like Nook, or those, but I didnīt research that much about them, either. I'm fully open to any suggestion, and although I'm pretty sure that there isn't a perfect e-reader for me out there, I hope youīll help me do the best choice.
Thanks in advance,
DD
