Hi Kovan,
I have to take the same decision.
I think the first criterion you should now determine is
whether or not you need a screen with a digitizer (PB903, M90). I.e., if you are willing to pay the extra cost for having that feature.
Indeed, as I understood, except the cost there are no drawback with those particular touchscreens (e.g., no additional reflexion).
- If you do not need it, then I would suggest the PB902, even if the M91S may enter into consideration, too.
- If you need the digitizer but not for taking notes, then I would suggest the PB903.
- If you need the digitizer also for taking notes, then you are in the same situation as I am: no device seems satisfactory at the moment.
If you are not in a hurry, I would advise you to wait and see, in particular in the last situation. Onyx Boox is going to release the M92, which
should solve some hardware-related pitfalls of the M90. PocketBook may finally deliver an adequate note-taking feature for the PB903.
Sony and Amazon are also going to release new e-readers, even if I've little hope that they will propose all the features I wish.
Finally, you may want to consider the Thinkpad Tablet which will have a digitizer (unlike other tablets). Of course, it's a tablet, with its drawbacks (LCD, autonomy, weight), but it
may be the best alternative in the world of tablets.
You can see
here that tablets seem to be prefered by scientific academicians.
Good luck with your decision,
Thierry
