You've given me a lot to think about. My dad's been ambivalent about it right now (probably because he isn't used to using one so he doesn't see how he would want it)--I think that would change once he had one, lol. But that means I'm probably going to have to get it as a gift. And that does make budget the issue, at least for right now. I'll see if I can't convince my mom to get in on it at some point.
He does want a larger screen, and a good deal of the files he'd be looking at would be nicely formatted pdfs, so it sounds like a tablet or the Kindle DX or other similar large-screen e-readers would be the thing. I'm seeing the Kindle DX for pretty good prices on eBay, but the trick is getting the deal, of course! (And convincing him, but that's getting easier by the minute.)
At this point I'm going to try for the Kindle DX, with possibly the Onyx M92 (if I can find it cheaply enough--easier said than done) as a backup. (Having had an Onyx e-reader and been very satisfied with it, I'd be confident getting him that.) But the DX sounds very good for his needs, so hopefully I can get it. Thanks for all the help deciding!
