What does the collective wisdom of the Israeli Linux users know about the
current crop of eBook readers?
Any recommendations?
Do the following requirements make sense?
1. Ability to display PDF files.
2. Full-fledged browser for displaying locally-cached HTML files.
3. Ability to display text files from the Gutenberg project.
4. Full Unicode (including BiDi handling) support.
5. Optional lighting, battery powered, for at least 12 hours (for reading at
night when there is power outage).
6. Display dimensions: about 36 by 23 cm (14-15 by 9-10 inches), for
convenient display of two book pages side by side.
7. Ability to display two windows, side by side, each one displaying different
content.
8. Capacity: at least 10GB (enough to store the entire Hebrew Wikipedia).
9. WiFi connection (to download reading materials from a host PC).
10. Note: no requirement to read DRM-protected eBooks.
Does there exist an eBook reader, which meets the above requirements?
