Greetings,
I am currently looking at purchasing an ebook reader. I don't know which model to purchase, but I have the following "requirements".
1) I need to be able to use the device in direct, bright sunlight. I do much of my reading while on holidays; and thus I need a device that is going to work well outside, by the side of a pool.
2) Much of my reading is technical, computer programming related pdf files. Thus, I would like a reader that has good support for reading pdf files. These pdf's are sometimes password protected and utilize graphics extensively. Most "reflow" solutions I've seen to date (for things like iphone, etc) don't work well. I guess zoom/pan would be appropriate.
3) From what I've seen, the 6inch size seems to suit about what I'd be interested in. I don't think smaller screens would suit me as much (especially for the pdf's), and I don't necessarily want something too large either.
4) I'm not interested in any "wireless" solutions. I'm from Australia, so the Kindle wireless stuff is useless for me. I'm happy to hook up to a PC whenever I need to load books onto the device. Likewise, I am not interested in any mp3 players, games, etc. If the device has this, that's fine. However, I have other specialty devices for those purposes.
To date, the devices which most interest me are the Sony Reader Touch (PRS-600); the ECO Reader; & the Sony PRS-505. Will these readers be appropriate for my needs?
Have you got any other model suggestions for my requirements?
