I use the SONY PRS900. I am a PhD student in Finance, just finishing my dissertation. I read about 1-2 PDFs from JSTOR or SSRN a day and annotate them. The PRS is not perfect, but it works, and it has allowed me not to print as much and to store and view my notes on my PC.

I wish the screen was bigger, but in landscape mode, I can read all PDFs fine without any need for resizing. Occasionally, I use the zoom feature for two-column PDFs, as those tend to have smaller font.
