I am still looking for the perfect ebook reader, unfortunately they all seem to have issues or a lack of features so I'm leaning towards buying a tablet PC.

The most feature rich ebook reader is probably the Irex dr1000s. I like its size, pdf reading capabilities, note taking. It costs in the Netherlands 699.00 Euro

Then there are the compact tablet PC's like

Asus EEE PC T91 price 459 Euro
Gigabyte Netbook T1028 599 Euro

or the less compact

HP TouchSmart TX2-1050ED 919 Euro

They all have their pros and cons. I am in doubt, and although money is not my biggest concern I might buy the T91 for its price and hope it will do what I want.

Not interested in handwriting recognition, but I do want to anotate pdf's (and preferably other formats as well)
It needs to be as compatible and fast enough for all pdf's (also bigger PDF's based on scans). The less I need to scroll through PDF's the better, so the bigger screen of the HP TX2 and Irex could be very useful.

Still in doubt, so if anyone has suggestions that might help me decide please let me know.
