Device for reading textbooks?

Hi! Im looking for a device to mainly read physic textbooks in pdf format.

I've been looking in older threads concerning the same question and consensus seems to be that e-ink readers are to small for reading large-scale pdfs. The thing is I cannot read these pdfs for a very long on my laptop before getting sore eyes. Thats why I don’t want an Ipad or similar and hence is looking for a good e-ink reader.

Does anyone have any good suggestions what to buy for this purpose? Would it be possible to read the textbooks on for example kindle PW without getting to annoyed of the small screen, anyone with experience of this? Are bigger tablets like kindle fire or DX as easy to read from as an e-ink reader, if not are they a lot better than an Ipad? Personally I would satisfy with a kindle PW if it where big enough for the purpose.

Lots of questions, perhaps I can get some answers anyway.

many thanks,

Oskar
