It's been almost 6-8 months since the time digital reader has been released , and I have following the forum , the wait for it to arrive, the expectation people had and they way they were crushed due to battery and I believe only battery . I have heard people complain their arses off including me. Every week I would check in for some new magical firmware release which would make the batterylife ok , scribbling like real paper blah blah .
I saw the kidle-dx being release I immediatly thought I shall buy it , sell this abomination , But something happened , my exam came and suddenly I had loads and loads of journal to read , and bam , it's usefulness struck me , I did buy it originally to be able to read pdf files and that it does exteremly well , no cropping , no tweaking , straight dump read and forget , even simple underling and circling(cave men style though) . Exams are over. I am happy.
I saw harryt buy one which gave me more confidence considering how active he is here , and he must have thought a lot and bought it , kind of stupid I know but then it's just the reinforcement . I am sticking with mine , reading Greek Mythologies books in full a4 glory & loads of journal articles on post earning announcement drift which is my dissertations.
It lasts 4-5 hours a day for me
