What Ebook reader would best suit my needs?


OK, I would like TWO suggestions, one for section A and one for section B.’

A)…Ebook reader with larger screen, 7″ plus, one that has wifi and can connect to the internet and has messenger and a web browser, and also has support for a multi-touch pad like wabcom so I can take notes with it in class electronically and also use it instead of a physical textbook.

B) Cheap. Doesnt have to have wifi or messenger, though its welcome. Doesnt have to support wifi or internet. However, it must have a large screen. It can be bulky and heavy….I dont care. Im not weak. It needs to have a soft screen for easy reading, not just text but also picture support….I need to see graphs and images. A larger than average screen is important.

The theory here is this…..I can either get option A and just use that…..or I can go option B, and get something cheap and use it in conjunction with a laptop and wabcom multi-touch pad and pen…..essentially spending more for an all in one, or less and still use the laptop….but it still needs a full size screen. This isnt just for text, its for graphs and complex chemistry diagrams. That is why I need more space, preferably closer to 10 inches but I could go down a little bit.

Any tips?

I dont care about music downloading or book downloading….I dont pay for that stuff anyway so I wont be getting it from the e-stores.
Thank you for the tips…but does anyone have any knowledge about the lesser known and cheaper readers on the market? Everyone knows about the Kindle, but its NOT a cheap option. You could get a touch screen netbook/tablet for that price, like an MSI wind with touch screen.

Anyone have a kindle or sony reader?


just got the sony reader but wanted to know if the ebook store is the only plae you can get books for the sony reader or if amazon will work with it like it does for the kindle….

or any other websites that wor for the sony reader?
