Other large screen readers

zetareticuli · 01-22-2010, 09:04 AM

Does anyone know when the other, Kindle DX-like, e-readers will come out? I have heard that there is a large screen Netronix and a large screen Jinke reader due out this year? Is this official? If yes, does anyone know when?

Now that PVI have started large-scale production of 9.7" screens, I'd expect to see 9.7" devices from all the major manufacturers this year.

There will be at least one new one available in March

Thanks, guys. I read lots of technical books and documents in PDF. My usage requires the larger screen size. I have tried most of the 6" devices and they just won't do. It's good to know there will be many choices this year.

I'm thinking about going for a Kindle DX, but without an sd-card slot I'm not so sure. This feels like a must have with a lot of heavy PDF:s. Can't believe they decided to drop it when Kindle 1 had one. For my part I might as well wait and see what comes out before summer.

See E-book Reader Matrix: Larger Devices for some of the devices we know about. One that isn't there is the Asus DR-950, which is apparently launching in March or early April. It has a 9" SiPix e-paper screen, like the Hanlin A9.

Another one I don't see in the matrix is Samsungs e101 with release early 2010.

Will have to keep an eye on all those before I decide which to get...
