I purchased the M92 so I could stop paying for printed textbooks as they're heavy and cost way to much. The Kindle DX was to slow, the IPAD's backlight screen bothered my eyes way to much, didn't want to leave my work screen to stare at another screen, and the weight of the ipad3 was to heavy. From the demos, Jetbook color had very slow page turns, I didn't need the color, and the price was to high. The M92 looked like the perfect solution. So after using the M92 for the day, here are my feelings

- Sometimes when using "hide margin" or "zoom" the text is just a bit too light. I wish there was a way to increase the font contrast.

- I read mostly PDF files and those files are basically scanned IT text books. Most of the IT text books (printed) that I own are not letter size. I measured the pages in some of my textbooks and found that the pages diagonally are 12 inches (including margins). But the actual text portion is 10 inches diagonally. So one would not think .3 inches to be that big of a deal but it seems to make a big difference. Text size on the printed text book just feels more pleasant/bigger than the text on the M92.

So now I'm sorta torn, I like the M92 but I don't know if i should keep it or not. Or maybe it's the way the textbooks were scanned? As i didn't scan them myself
