Hello,

A colleague of mine had a great idea!

She is in charge of organizing a very high-profile/prestigious conference held once a year and thought of using an e-book reader as a way of handing out the conference materials instead of paper. This would also act as a gift which the delegates would be able to keep, re-use, and enjoy.

My question to you the community is:

What e-book reader should she use? Which reader would provide a combination of quality and price (they would have to buy several thousand pieces). Also, the reader should be able to support the popular document formats (.doc?, .pdf?)

Finally, the most important thing is that the e-book reader should be able to receive live updates via some sort of wireless connection (802.11 ?) This way they can update the attendees with any last minute changes.... directly to their reader.

Please let me know what you guys think. We would both really appreciate your help and could definitely use the expertise of the community when making such a large decision.

Thanks,

Saar...
