The Best PDF Ebook Reader

I wanted an ebook reader that would read ALL ebook formats (unlike the Kindle) and this is what I finally found.

Hi there, what do you think of the trade-off: netbook -- easier to handle pdf's, but won't be e-ink, vs ereader -- e-ink, but hard to handle pdfs? (I'm assuming that e-readers don't handle pdf's well, from what I've heard). I personally would like to be able to read pdf books primarily. Is it true that e-readers aren't great for pdf books?

@Quilvis I have updated my view on what is the best PDF Ebook reader, and wrote about it here

(change teh "*" into a "." and the link will work for you.

It might surprise you to see what I am using now.

Wow, I am soooo surprised about the reactions to this video I made for the readers of my blog. So many angry people in the world.

THIS VIDEO WAS MADE NEARLY TWO YEARS AGO.

Many of the choices that exist today, did not exist back then. There was no IPAD, and no reasonably priced tablets either.

I stand by my decision though, and still enjoy my netbook as a GREAT PDF reader

@nathantarmac1 If my happiness with my little netbook as a PDF reader (and a whole lot more) makes you so angry that you feel compelled to use profanity and vulgar language, you really should seek anger management and counseling of some kind.

I'd love an e-reader for PDF, and ONLY for PDF - and they are useless for PDF. Kindle etc. is being sold because it pulls in the money - it's like those cheap printers - the ink cartridges are more expensive than the printer. With e-books, you keep on spending money and spending money on new books - why not just go and buy second hand paperbacks and a pair of cheap specs? An e-reader is just  yet another silly gadget.

@JohnDerrickdotcom PRS-T1, only searching for one of these ... envelopes or whatever they are called in english. My reader already has some scratches so I want to protect it. Sure there is the one from sony for 40 Euros but next thursday a new one is coming out for less money. So I think I am gonna buy that one.

So far the reader really hoped, I was able to lock through alot of articles and papers for my wikipedia-article.

@inotaishu1

Which model?  Glad to hear you found a device you are happy with. :)

I never said that people are not buying Ereaders. What I said was that nothing has been invented yet that fits your criteria. Having backlighting and e-ink is a difficult problem to overcome. I have no doubt that many great minds are working on it as I type this.

@JohnDerrickdotcom Oh really? Then why are people buying electronic readers? Also, as ereaders come out, they get better. Soon theyll have what i want

[inotaishu1]

@JohnDerrickdotcom got the new sony reader and i am satisfied

@HKichen Thanks for your kind comment. :)

@rodeo179 If the netbook is STILL a better reader for PDF and CHM than the current flock of Kindles and ereaders out there, and it is, then this video is not out dated.
