Hello Folks!

I use to read pdf's intensively (papers and books) and cannot bear reading on harsh screens anymore. I've never had any ereader and I think it's time for me to get one : as it happens a store quite near my home does sell a Pocketbook 912, therefore I appeal to your expertise regarding this device : Is it worth having?? In particular I wonder whether one can access to platforms like JSTOR through it, and whether it supports a dynamic/non-linear reading (I mean jumping pages, using the index and the table of contents, searching for occurrences etc.).

If not & alternatively, what do you think of a tablet so as to do lengthy readings (again, mostly pdf's)?

Thanks very much in advance!

Romain
