The screenshots are full screen size. You can see the menu at the bottom on the screenshots and the photo.

Of course, the magazine will look better on the DR because of the larger screen size. Both iLiad and DR have 16 shades of grey.

The iLiad is cheaper, more portable and iRex sees it as a finished product. There's a lot of community provided programs.

The DR screen is large and beautiful and the DR's firmware is being updated regularly.

Hard decision. Good luck making it!

or they see it as a device without any future, because of its hardware

so i had to end this decision and days without sleeping
just ordered the DR

and responding to the screenshots, they are displayed much larger, than it could be in reality on my tft
i have cut out a piece of paper and scaled the picture down to the screen size it would be
it was readable but very hard to read

This is a very good method to decide if screen size is enough. But be aware that the dpi of eReaders are typically higher than TFTs and therefore better readable with smaller fonts.

Congrats to the DR. Is is a very nice device!

Oh, you've finally decided to choose DR1000S. I've almost decided the same, too. But I'm still in doubt. Are you glad of the device? What about battery lifetime? And what about writing down notes?
