Hi everyone,
I'm really interested in buying one of these new electronic ink readers that are available now. My friend has the Sony 6" reader, which is quite cool, except it doesn't handle the display of PDF's formatted for A4 pages very well.
I've since seen the iRex stuff,

Which looks good, the problem is, its quite expensive, so before I splash out on one, I wondered if any of you had any hands on experience with them? Half the feedback I read on the Internet complains that its not a laptop, that its not colour, etc etc... the thing is, I just want it to read scientific papers and several books I have in PDF format which I never get to on the computer because I don't like to read off the LCD.
So, yeah, its expensive, but if it does the job of displaying large page sizes well, then its probably worth it for me... save printing out squillions of pages of paper at the least.
So, anyone had any hands on experience, good or bad?
