The size is ideal... not available ot many of us, though <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/rant.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rant:" title="Rant    :rant:" data-shortname=":rant:" />I have one and it is a great little tool, loads quick and very very light. The only problem I have is that it is JUST to small to comfortably read eDungeon and eDragon mags One page per 6" screen. You can happily read to text on clear backgrounds, but text that is on shaded areas is very difficult ... bear in mind we are talking about reading a FULL A4 sheet on a 6" screen. So you can either crop it (which takes time) or live with it. It is also really cheap <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />However it is not quite what I wanted, so I am upgrading to the larger DR1000S iRex. If I could get a DX I'd get that but I can't. The reason I am upgrading is because if you use a lot of PDFs an eReader is awesome, and much better than any nettop. They are light (my eSlick is lighter than my mobile), very easy on the eyes and have good battery life. They don't heat up etc etc. But (unlike a nettop) they are one trick ponies. The convenience of a eReader is enormous, but you pay the cost in $$$$$ for a specialised tool.I was printing out my eDun and eDrag at work, for cost, on the colour laser. However just 2 or so years of DDi is the same price as a DR1000S so I went for a reader. For printing you also have the hassle of binding etc, and the time (takes a whole morning to do a dozen mags). So if you are printing your PDFs, and lots of them, for anything but free an eReader is going to be cheaper in the long run.My thoughts on the eSlick: <a href="http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45972" target="_blank">Got my eSlick... - MobileRead Forums</a></blockquote>
