I'm looking to get a reader. Mostly for tech docs (random PDF) and manuals and possibly books from Safari. I've also been asked by my employer to find a device that I could ssh from to help with technical issues while remote. So it also needs to be small enough that it would be reasonable for me keep with me all the time.
Laundry List:
- 3G and/or WiFi
- SSH
- resonable qwerty keyboard
- application extensable
- reads common PDF
- Can read PDFs from Safari
- More portable than a laptop but bigger screen than a G-Phone / Droid
I've looked at the kindle, Knook, and Sony reader so far they look like they will handle most of my requests except for SSH which is nearly critical (that way i don't have to pay for the device). The Knook looks promising in that its running android but it doesn't look like any one has broken it out so that SSH and ability to load other apps is open.
I'm open to devices that are portable as well but can double as a reader. Any feedback is appreciated.
