Device: Nook Simple Touch
Post Big eInk device for uni

Hi guys

I only just stumbled across this forum, but I'm not new to eReaders. I have owned the original nook and now use a nook simple touch, both of which I have loved and use regularly.

However, PDF support is a disaster and illegible on 6". I'd like a device with a big screen for viewing handouts, scripts and textbooks in class.

The Onyx BOOX M92 looks nice and the addition of a pen seems like an awesome idea.. But, I have used a windows tablet PC equipped with an active digitizer and OneNote to take notes in the past, this works very well! The iPad with those flimsy finger-imitating styluses does not compare!

A few questions:
  • How well does the M92 handle pen input?
  • Does it make sense to buy this device now (Nov 13) or should I wait for the next gen?
  • Does this device make sense in class, where one might switch between files regularly? (Is it fast enough, is what I'm really asking? )
  • How well does it perform with all the recent updates? (The reviews I've seen are older. Have there been any notable improvements?)
  • Is the Icarus different in any way (besides rebranding)?

Are there any other devices you could recommend? How about Pocketbook?
I'm not interested in audio playback or games, though eInk is a must.

Price isn't an issue, since this would massively reduce my printing costs.. uhm, well, to 0.-

I have seen some of the other posts, but none of them answer these specific questions.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Regards fd
