So what the heck has happened to Asus 950? Samsung E101? Plastic Logic (will it ship in June this time)? The Skiff?

I'm starting to question if I should wait for any of these any longer or if I might just as well buy some other reader. So well I'm kind of curious what your thoughts are on this. Which option would you recommend for basically 95% academic reading from PDFs (mathematical statistics so a bunch of formulas and stuff):

a) Buy whichever next 9''+ reader that is released
b) Go with Kindle DX
c) Go with iRex DR1000s
d) Go with a smaller screen, like Sony PRS 900 Daily

Would you predict/do you know of any 9''+ reader to be released i June/July?

Thanks
buy the irex dr800 and use it in landscape and fullscreen mode.. you can read a4 pdf with no problem
