Not trying to sound like I'm jumping on you, but I just wanted to comment on this. I've done that many a time in my life: convinced myself that I couldn't wait for a device that would be perfect for my needs and accepted a substandard unit just because I could have it right now. If you're displaying a lot of paper-sized scientific PDFs, just a bit of advice: don't even consider anything smaller than Skiff or Que. Everything I've seen and read of those devices indicate that they will be perfect for what you need. The DR800 will be a compromise, and you'll kick yourself when those other readers do come out. Just a friendly thought.
