Hi!

I'm interested in buying a reader/tablet, however my main usage will not be reading books, but reading scientific articles (PDF).

I would prefer to have some device using E Ink or similar (with better battery time and contrast), however I am not sure they can handle an A4-sized PDF article in a satisfactory way. Maybe in the end it's better to get a table, i.e. iPad to make sure it is always readable in a good way.

Does someone have experience of this? It would really save a lot of effort avoiding printing out every article. The price is of course relevant but is not the highest priority, I'd rather pay a bit extra to get something that is actually good.

Any recommendations and advice is appreciated!
