That's what I basically thought for all of the options. That is, I'm not sure what budget I'd need for the spec to read PDFs. I had a $30 big screen tablet that could do it. I still have it but the battery blew up into a spicy pillow. I haven't been able to get a replacement battery for it yet, since I'm can't find a way to fit a new battery without soldering terminals.
Thanks for the eBookDroid tip. I will definitely make use of that on my small screen Hisense A5Pro.
The thing with printing is no so much the cost; we've negated that by retrofitting inkjets with refillable inkwells. Nor the paper either; we have recycling. It's more the effort in putting the thing together and since each read may be less than 10mins for 30 A5 pages... it still seems very wasteful. And of course, someone has to actually come here to collect the print off.
I'm in the same position: nothing really works :/
