reader for academic pdf's

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for an e-book reader, and in addition to novels and the like, I need to be able to read academic pdf articles and, to a lesser extent, textbooks. I need to be able to read graphs and the like, embedded in those pdfs. I have two questions I was hoping you could help me out with:

1) What is the best reader for these types of documents on the market now, or likely to come out in the next couple months? Or, is there an older reader that's now cheap, but that will do the job well enough?

2) Even given the best reader, how good *is* pdf reading on these devices? The few videos I've seen online make it look like a real chore hardly worth the effort.

Thanks in advance!
