Lost my last post. And the post after that. [why my posts not showing?]

I used an Onyx m96 (9.7") for a similar scenario as you - studying/working @ uni. Saved rain-forests with it. With a screen that size there was no scrolling left/right required for standard academic texts (psych). Onyx's cropping software is good - gets rid of white edges. Fits maybe 3/4 of the page lengthwise.


So... I think the 10.3" readers - Sony Dpt-CP1 (which is on sale), and Onyx Boox Note Note Pro / Note 2 are large enough.

After that you've got the big boys, 13.3" - bigger is better, but less convenient to carry.

There's also Remarkable, but that's less customized for PDF reading.



With my onyx I thought the annotation capability was good. I write small, it was accurate enough (though far from perfect); highlighting etc.

Problem: I don't know about the syncing scenario. I always found connectivity stuff awkward. Could never find bookmarks. However, most of my work was done on the device- i.e. marking-up drafts to edit on PC. I seldom used the export function.

Anyhow, hope that helps.

With those larger readers, there are glass screens and plastic screens, amongst several other options, worth considering which ones are most durable, I think. The Sony's are plastic I think, some onyx are glass / some plastic.
