Talking Hello from Canada
Hello all,

I am a researcher and masters student here in Edmonton, Alberta and i am very interested in the world of electronic readers. I own four currently (sony prs-700, kindle 2, kindle dx and nook) and all have strenghts and weaknesses.

I am most interested in using .pdf's on these devices as I feel this opens up a whole new world of document storage and access for researchers. Why lug a lot of paper documents when you can have all your research on an e-reader?

Waiting to try an ipad and an irex, so far think the kindle dx "gets" the pdf format better than any other device I've tried. This is important as many online journals (a prime source for most of us in research) have the articles as pdf files.

let's see how this works out!

Greg

Hello GregoryJFink and welcome to Mobileread.

I'm also a research student and recently bought an IREX DR800 for doing researchy type reading. Not perfect but getting better with firmware updates and a lot better than lugging a laptop around everywhere.

Sorry Greg but Canadians are no longer allowed to join MobileRead until you agree to stop sending those Alberta Clippers down here!

Shoot, I didn't think you'd fall for that one. Anyway, welcome to MobileRead.

Good to have your company, Greg. The iPad certainly looks impressive for PDF presentation. Not sure, but I guess the conventional backlit screen might pose battery problems if you're working on the hoof. Cheers. Neil
