I'm considering supplementing my DR 1000s with the Astak 6" device. A major part of the reason that I use the DR is that many of my PDF's are very large, 20+MB, some as much as 60mb; plus, they tend to have lots of graphics and often are complexly formatted roleplaying game books similar in size to tech journals and textbooks. Sometimes these e-books open slowly with the DR, but to date, I've only had 2 that would not open at all (1 of which was quickly fixed by iRex).

None of that counts the DR's note-taking ability that I often use at the game table.

Thus, I'm looking at the Astak to supplement what I can read over time using the DR.

Does my situation sound like one that would be assisted by having an Astak EZReader or Mentor?
