Short to the point, I decided to by my first reader because reading on laptop really screws my eyes wearing contact lenses, thus not considering a tablet like iPad etc. at all if I have other choices. I am sure there are finance professionals in the forum, thus I would appreciate their feedback about their readers and giving me advice.
Basically what I want and will be doing with the device is:
- Will mainly read PDFs (mainly w/o DRM): finance books, newsletters (some as .doc or .rtf), RSS feeds etc. though I would be happy with additonal format support or access to online book stores.
- Obviously most finance material has graphs or charts so no idea what size of screen or simple grayscale screen would be enough but I do not mind a small screen device with a zoom capability so that I can check the graphs and get back to reading. Any comment on how you can read colored line charts and distinguish different indicators on a grayscale screen?
- Would be great if it would be available to have access to some mainstream finance/economics/business media such as WSJ, FT, efinancialnews, Economist, BusinessWeek etc.
Though I guess with Calibre it is possible to get some of this. I just remember about iRex having some agreement with certain digital media providers, but I guess it wont work outside US.
- Optionallly with WiFi + basic browsing (No 3G as I'm in Eastern Europe for the moment), so that I can get the newsletters and reports on daily basis via email or RSS etc. and if not easy Sync capability with PC.
- Ability to take notes or underline on PDFs etc. would be a great benefit..thus I guess that would require a touch screen with a stylus?
I am sure I would be OK with some of these and not all of them as well, but since I do not have any experience reading with a reader (except for playing with Sony reader in Sony shop) I do not know which one would fit my requirements.
A tablet is tempting too, but the effect of LCD screens my eyes is concerning. I would really appreciate some help and advice..
