I'm looking for a PDF eInk Reader and would prefer an approx. 10" screen given reflowing issues etc. I've been searching online and don't see much in the way of upcoming 10" models now or for release in Sept. (back to school & before XMas). I would hope it to be 'affordable' (say sub $500 range). I'm looking to read PDF books and some Academic journals. I prefer eInk for long battery life and low eyestrain. I read a lot and low contrast/brightness on LCD feels hard on my eyes.

Are there any new sub $500 10" eInks coming out soon?

The alternates seem to be the Sony DPT-S1, but the (almost) $1000 USD price has me unable to buy. The only 'affordable' alternative would be if new Kindle DX were released. Given DX is discontinued, only used/refurb are available and are 5+ year old tech its not ideal purchase.

This leaves me with choice of:
-Wait until fall this year in hopes new affordable 10" eInk reader

- Use what I already have and read PDFs on my desktop or laptop

- Buy a tablet - iPad / Android with preferably 8-10" screen.

- Buy an eReader anyways (I've been impressed with Kobo H20) ... the Carta screens are way better than older tech ... I wouldn't mind reading some of the classic books on Gutenberg anyways
