I have a Kobo Clara BW I’ve been using to get through my PDF and ePub backlog. Its 6” screen is way too small for great reading of PDFs (many of which are laid out for letter paper), and I would strongly recommend that if you’re going to get an eReader for PDFs, getting at least an 8”, but more likely a 10” screen, unless you also get a set of magnifying glasses a la Brazil.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
