Right now, I use the MotionComputing PC tablet; it's great for PDF reading, except that I can count on ~4 hours of reading before battery dries out - such is the fate of active LCD devices.
Yes but I think the point was still missed :
the Cybook Gen 3 is great for reading A5 size eBooks, but it is not good for reading A4/Letter size PDF eBooks and it never will be. I love the device but it has its limits.
Whereas the DR1000S is really no good for reading A5 size eBooks (to big) it is great for reading A4 size books. So read your A5 books on the Cybook and print out your A4s is the best advice I can give... I bought the Cybook for the sole purpose of reading A4 PDFs only to find I loved the device but it was no good for my purposes : as soon as it became availalbe I bought a DR1000S and now I have a device for A5 and one for A4 size eBooks. Now if you are looking for a second hand Cybook Gen 3 then maybe we can talk ... ;-)
