Ok, so I am looking to purchase one of the e-ink based readers. (primarily because I love reading ebooks (read a lot on the PC too)) and these are supposed to put way less strain on the eyes.
1. Kindle OUT: Me in India. No use paying extra for the whispernet etc etc.
2. NOTE: I am probably NOT going to be buying ANY books to read. I already have a text library collected from here and there that will last me a couple of years. + most of what I read is in the public domain (some stuff on Linux + classics from gutenberg
)
So DRM support etc is NOT a consideration.
3. Price IS a major consideration. I would rather NOT spend any more money than I have to. Purchase will be from the US (Amazon.com probably) Will get a friend to bring it over or something.
4. While foxit is cheap, I think the 4 level gray-scale screen may not be as good as the 8 level one on the prs 505. + its not even out/reviewed yet, so no idea how good or how bad it will be.
5. Right now I like the looks + features of the prs505, not to mention the price. NOT buying immediately, probably in 2-3 months once I scrape up the spare cash.
Opinions, suggestions etc welcome.
