I am looking for an ebook reader and given the price and availability in Europe: I found only 2 candidates: the iPod Touch and the Hanlin/BeBook/iBook v3. The iPod is really nice (drool) and has lots of features but is not an ebook reader in the sense of having the experience of reading a book, less strain on the eyes, power consumption and reading in daylight on a sunny day. But since I cannot get my hands on a ebook reader to test it, I have some serious questions whether the Hanlin/BeBook/iBook v3 ebook reader is going to meet my expectations:
1. I have ebooks in pdf and chm format ranging from 1 MB to 150 MB (99% of them is smaller than 50 MB though). What size of ebooks can the ebook reader handle ?
2. Is the table of contents in pdf and chm documents available and usable ?
3. Can the ebook reader handle text on a colored background having only 4 shades of gray ?
4. I am subscribed to computer emagazines (pdf): they come with lots of colored pictures and photos (mostly commercial and of no real value to me) but are they readable/viewable ?
Thanks
Johan
