I personally think that it is impossible to find a "perfect" reader since in different situation different characteristics are needed from a reader and in my opinion it is good to have couple of readers - one portable to carry everywhere (in a pocket or lunchkit  ) and one with 9-10 inch screen to read with a comfort at home. |
Sorry if I sounded out of line, I was just trying to clarify the point. I guess we're just going to have to agree to disagree. I have no problem carrying around a magazine to read on the bus on my way to and from work, so I don't believe that an 8-10 inch eReader would be any more of a problem. My "lunch kit" is a small backpack, so space certainly isn't an issue and leaves my hands free whenever I need them to be. And I already stated, the "perfect ereader" is a moving target. Different things to different people, and each day new technology changes add to the capabilities. Next year, or the year after, colour e-ink will be available, hopefully not at exorbitant prices, someone will have thought of a new "super feature" to add to ebooks or the ereaders and a new set of ereaders will hit the market. I currently have a Hanlin V3 with 5" screen, and it's "acceptable" for reading, but I really do want more screen real estate.
What I will say though is that I'm really glad to see all the comments in these forums, and I sincerely hope that the ereader manufacturers are scanning them and taking some of our suggestions/complaints to heart. If they do, we could have some really terrific choices in the future.
