Device: Rocket; Hiebook; N700; Sony 505; Kindle DX ...
large device, can you help me decide?

Hi there,
after many years spent using small/medium devices, I was considering about moving to the largest on the market - I'm still unsure though.

I was the proud owner of the Rocket Ebook when it appeared on the market, then I used the small Nokia770 and the disappointing Hiebook.
When e-ink appeared, I was in the Sony-505 heaven.

But.
For leisure it's perfect, but for work I have to use a lot of PDF technical books, and read a lot of PDF scientific papers (2 columns, often...) - so I was thinking about the largest devices out there.

I saw my collegue's Kindle DX and was flabbergasted - it' perfect reading from what I saw.
It is just that I have a problem with devices that remind me too much that I'm in front of a computer: I hate to see a keyboard in front of me when I read (I use already too much computers during work...)

So: apart from the DX, what is out there? The Sony900 is smaller, and I'm not familiar with the Iliads, though they seem wonderful seems to me their userbase is complaining a lot...

Concerning my needs I just want to add that wifi is completely useless to me.

Any other suggestions???

thanks!

alessandro
