LOL, when it comes to big/advanced readers, seems like the authors weren't that much informed.
Both QUE and Skiff never entered the market. The Edge, which they gave 0% of surviving, lasted 14 months and after 2 YEARS, now, in 2012, it's still the most advanced ereader available. The only one which allows you to WORK over a text.
The only E-READER for academics and for education.
After the company ran out of business, it's
been acquired by russians and it's bein used in schools. In Europe you can still buy it from Holland at a discounted price, and it's absolutely worth it.
Other 9,7" ereaders currently selling: the Kindle DXG is prehistoric compared to it (only it has a better readibility thanks to the Pearl screen). The Pocketbooks cannot annotate like the Edge. The new Boox M92 may compete with it, if only it had a decent firmware.
Edit: I've just seen a new video review of the 9,7" Jetbook "Color". Gosh, for 500 bucks it's terrible. Isnt' the edge still better?
