Generally, how well the current crop of 6" diagonal eBook readers handle things is mostly a factor of what's in the PDF. If it's mostly text, and I would think business books are that way, then you're possibly OK with something like the Sony PRS readers, which at current levels do a reasonable job of splitting things up and have native PDF support. But 6" is ultimately, pretty small for a technical book, so something bigger, like the iRex DRs or the upcoming Kindle DXs, will do much better. No real substitute for pixels, when you need them, so you might need the bigger screens.
Notes on the reader is doable, but having a keyboard makes that somewhat easier, which favors the Amazon offerings. If you're just bookmarking, or making notes by copying or highlighting, they mostly all will do that much. Obviously, something like a PC with a real keyboard has advantages there, or a tablet PC if you like to scribble.
