Would you advise me to wait for the large screen devices set to hit the market soon (Pocketbook 901 looks delicious  , asus dr950 or the astak electra might do too) or get the iRex dr800s now? I had originally ruled out the smaller screened devices, but are there any that I should consider? Thanks in advance. |
Yes, waiting is a good idea. Currently available stuff is pretty awful for scholarship, with the possible exception of the iPad, but that's more dependent on software.
