I can't wait to read your open/honest judgment as to the prospect to reading thousands of pages on a device like this.
I read huge amounts of any kind of documents, even "normal" books. Even they
produce eye strain.
If you just consider eye strain you probably will be happy, but as other factors
play a role as well - they simply cannot be ignored.
Many people, I for one, are betting the house now on the Jetbook Color(rather on software improvements). And Ectaco seems to be rather dynamic it would amount to a small miracle if expectations could be met in time.
So it is mostly the PC for me - mostly for workflow reasons.
What kind of documents do you have to read? Is it scientific stuff or something else?
I use diagonal reading a lot(going through documents faster), hoping not to miss too much.
After having used some readers now I think we are still in an experimental phase. People mostly seem to be happy to be able to read PDFs at all and a little bigger than a 6" reader.
This is still a niche market segment with very unsual habits.
Just the fact that the company can only reached by a mediator(shop) is odd.
