Que or Skiff? - Page 2

Also keep in mind, that even on the Skiff Reader you cannot display A4 in native size. I've made a size comparison here.

Thanks! Never seen a comparison like that before. Interesting! But for me it's a simple case of bigger is better. I'm doing my proof reading on a treadmill with the paper (and soon reader) on a paper holder, and a computer screen to the right of that, with a keyboard in front. So as large and clear a screen as possible is really what I need. If they had Que Maxi or something, I probably would have bought that. Portability isn't that much of an issue for me since I don't transport myself much. I have a home office where I do the proof reading four days a week and a pet shop I run with my wife where I am one day a week and work on the back room when there's no customers in. I drive a car and carry a computer bag with room to spare for any size reader.

But it can't be too heavy because I hold it in my hand when I do proof reading in the pet shop, and I need to be able to hold it mostly with one hand without getting too tired.
