The cost is too high for someone just occasionally reading a pdf.
Hi Underscore,

I don't read occasionally a PDF. I can spent many hours with a technical book or a novel. It's a big advantage to have the book (PDF or EPUB) on the e-reader and to have the screen to code.
With Firefox, I use Scrapbook to get a copy of the WEB pages and put them in the e-reader.

For me, a small screen like a 6" (as my Samsung EB60) it's very disturbing to have to change the page too frequently for a novel or a technical document. I like too have a font which is suitable for me, bigger than the default font, so there is less information in one page. A big screen is a really an advantage. If you have a good speed of reading, you pass too many time to change the page, even with the 9.3 " screen of the M92.

In my case, the 'basic usage' is to read some texts, mark some pages, underline some lines.
