Hi Kovan, welcome to the forum!

I understand what u meant when it comes to choosing the ideal device for reading academic PDFs because I went through the same situation as you did.

Out of these 9.7" choices (Kindle DXG/PB 902/M90), I purchased Pocketbook 902 because of its strong PDF support abilities, long battery life, 9.7" screen resolution, simplified user interface design, pre-installed dictionaries and other handy features such as file folder management. Most importantly, one can expect regular software fixes and firmware support from PB developer, as compared to the overpriced Kindle DXG.

However, in terms of contrast display between Vizplex VS Pearl e-ink, there is a considerable difference. You may want to read up more from here: http://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/201...ens-overrated/.

I didn't choose M90 because of numerous news on unstable software bugs and regular crashes from the experience of other forum users. Things may have changed and current M90 users might wish to input their comments or share their experiences.
