Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"We need a digital camera that can be switched on and fire off that first shot fast. It's not a commonly tracked statistic on any review site, and nobody seems to have this information for every camera. We were hoping other readers could inform us as to what small digital cameras can fire off their first pics in under a second (ideally under half a second). It needs to be small, but mostly, just really quick in operation. Thanks!"
I am a resarcher/writer who works with an extensive and growing library of very large .pdf documents. I have just ordered the Foxit because their .pdf software experience is extensive Since I suffer from eyestrain (.pdf eyeballs, I call it) I particularly like having simple and effective document reflow and zoom capabilities.
When I am reading, I could care less if I am connected to the Internet. I have been using my laptop to download the files I need and keeping them on a usb thumbdrive anyway.
I am just thrilled to think that I will no longer be tied to my computer for the reading end of the research project. The eSlick will hold me until there is a low-end version of color touchscreen, that will allow me to take notes and highlight on the document itself.
The only other reader that was in my price range, and that used the Foxit software was the PocketBook 360 at $240. I liked the way it looked, but it was a bare bones unit, with no AC charger, or memory card. And until the quality of Ukranian electronics are a better known quantity, I didn't want to take a chance on them.
