What I really really want...
...is the ability to search the HD or SD card for books without having to connect to PC...

Flexible e-Paper: < 2 cm bending radius Durable: No glass, endures > 1290 PSI (The current AUO manufactured touch screen devices have a glass backing) So no, it is not yet possible to have a super durable screen since they all still have the glass backing, but I feel better that I figured out where I got the idea that they were almost here. Oh well. Hopefully SiPix will still be less expensive than what we currently have, but we'll find out when the new toys come out in a few more months. An article on www.e-reader-info.com that I found stated that Jinke will have a few models using the SiPix screens, but that news was from January so not "news" at all. |

Maybe I misunderstand

The Pocket PRO does allow you to view all the books on your SD card without needing to connect to a computer. There is also a search function on the Pocket PRO that came via firmware upgrade. In any case, I am pleased to see you on the forum! |

Exchangeable battery (with a separate charger) is very important to me!! For mp3 player it would be a must!! I'm also a long time user of pda, phone, dc, digital recorder, and many other 3c products, and I hate to wait for the recharging, it is really inconvenient and a bother! If the rechargeable battery is the common sort that can be easily bought in the store would be best. In addition to exchangeable battery with separate wall-charger. I would prefer my next E-Reader to have: 1. B/W e-ink/e-paper reader (8-16 gray scale), at least 1-2GB internal storage/memory space with 16-32GB SD/miniSD/microSD support 2. format support: pdf, txt, epub, htm/html, lit, doc/docx/rtf, prc/pdb, as many as possible. 3. easy to use (I hate to "study" manual before I can read/turn page/search/organize/browsing...), so with some important buttons you should put recognizable symbols denoting the function/usage. #1-#8 is just too ambiguous to me. 4. the button shouldn't be spaced too tightly (mp3/mp4 usually has this kind of user-unfriendliness). 5. lightweight (for a 6" EReader, better be less than 200g) 6. easy to use in-text dictionary (English-English) support 7. protective cover included (a plus) 8. touch screen (not necessarily as long as I can search/check dictionary easily with the sticks/buttons) with a stylus 9. note taking/hi-lighter/note-hilight eraser function (a plus) 8. supporting Traditional Chinese character/coding Most of all: battery and user-friendliness! |
