Big e-books?

Hello!
I thought about buying an e-book for reading technical literature (DJVU / PDF. For the artist there is a PocketBook 301+, I am completely satisfied with it). At the moment, I'm leaning towards the PB 912, but I haven't heard an opinion about competitors (with the exception of a couple of scanty reviews of Onyx crafts, and I don't like the UI in them).
Are there those who use readers with a screen of 9.7 "(or so, but always e-ink)? How do you feel?
Is it generally convenient to read books on programming and mathematics on an e-book, or are paper analogues still far away?

I bought myself a PocketBook 912, I'm satisfied, the developers barely finished the firmware, it works fine. At first it was unusual to read (and still, for some books, 9.7 "is small, although it is very convenient to increase on the packet, if the fields are removed, then pdf and djvu fit normally and you can read), but I'm still used to it, now it doesn't really matter, there is bookmarks, notes.Yes, in 912 you can also pee with a stylus, although the implementation of software for handwriting again leaves much to be desired.

I used the poketbook for a couple of days, I use the Onyx Boox M92 for a month - the poketbook did not lie around.
Responsiveness of the system, the screen is more pleasing to the eye compared to the poketbook, while no glitches are noticed (again, unlike the poketbook), image rendering is noticeably faster, the interface is spartan, but convenient. I would compare it with the Kindle, but my friends don’t have it.

I use PocketBook 912. I am very satisfied. Often the fields of books in PDF and JVU have to be cut off by hand before uploading to the reader.
