SIZE QUESTION
9.7” (for academics and extra monitor)
- Usual hardware deficiencies in existing models
- Special software requirements:
- Reference manager (Zotero and/or Mendeley)
- Good PDF functionality (unlike Kindle DX)
7" instead of 6”(like Sony Daily)
- 1024x768 (XGA) resolution @ 160 dpi
- standard resolution for web
- displays full-width of PDFs in landscape mode
- 6”
- fine for reflowable text of e-books, but not essential for that purpose
- too small to display web or PDFs
- too big to fit in your pocket
- so what is advantage of 6"?
5” future pocket/wallet size
