But I just read that the Kindle line is getting library loaning later this year, which changes the situation for me.

Now I want to compare usability between the two readers, mostly note-taking, highlighting, and annotating. (and searching / retrieving comments and notes). Also, is there a dictionary on either device that's easy to use?

Can anybody comment on Kindle DX vs. Pocketbook Pro 902 or 903 with regard to usability as I described above?

Thanks!
Jon
Hi jbr950
I'm a pocketbook 903 user. I have never tested a Kindle Dx, but, for what i have so far seen on internet, i think that the most important advantage of PB 902-903 over a kindle is versatility, i.e. PB e-reader can read a lot of formats, pdf, epub, doc files (only text), jpeg, djvu files ecc. Besides memory is bigger and you can expand it.
However, look at this page

to select a good e-reader for you.
