I guess for the kind of shoots we have, laptops are simply not feasible. They have been at risk for damage, there is not usually a place to plug them in so they run out of battery that last a couple of hours on a twelve hour shoot and there's no place to put them and none of us have free hands to carry it. Laptops are quite mobile, but if everything was on ebook readers and we hand one scratch pad to make those on the fly changes that would free up the power, space and damage constraints. I'm almost tempted to get a tablet PC but they are way too much, I already have a PC and I couldn't afford multiple tablet PCs.
As I understand it, those ebookwise readers are refurbished RCA readers right? I believe those are supported by PDFRead. That might be my best alternative unless the PRS-500 drops in price once the PRS-700 comes out.
