What could be the reason of such a dramatical ratio? Most of buyers of ereaders with big screens are professional readers - students, lawyer, scientists etc. - high educated and smart people. Why they prefer this ereader (even if it is more expensive as some others) ? I think, because it just fits their needs and satisfies the most of claims to such a device. Some of them are linked and just share their experiences.
So think twice before you make your choice |
Thanks for responding to my question! Would you mind helping me with a clear explanation of why you think the ONYX BOOX M92 is better than Pocketbook Pro 912? Maybe also your view on the companies that sell them, if that is relevant..?
My usage will be:
1) "Academic" books... I work in IT and read quite a lot of documentation, including technical books. They are big and bulky, carrying them around is not an option. I don't like reading on backlit devices, so don't want ipad etc.
2) I take an evening language course and I would like to keep the material for this on the e-reader.
4) Reading regular books.
Perhaps I need a large device for (1) and (2), and something like a Kindle for (3).
I wasn't aware of the Onyx but I'll check that out. However I have seen the Pocketbook Pro a lot in Eastern Europe - Ukraine, Belarus etc. Had a hands on demo in one shop but I still had my Irex back then.. I thought the Pocketbook Pro was good apart from the slow page turning, and the fact that the pages temporarily go black when turning page. Never seen the Onyx at all! I did not even know it existed.
Edit: Oh, I am pretty impressed by this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EL43EQg8YM This is a later model than the Pocketbook Pro that I was talking about.
I had an Irex 8" screen, but unfortunately it got stolen. It did not have the problem with the black page flickering, and the screen was almost large enough. I liked that device a lot. It's a real pity they went bust.
