I also have the need to read scientific papers, but I don't need annotation.

The Chinese ebook company Jinke works on V9, a 9.7inch near-A4 ebook reader that supports PDFs. It isn't ready yet, though.

Another product of Jinke, V3, is at 6inch but has a landscape zoom level that sometimes works good sometimes not so good for scientific papers and supports PDFs but no annotation/notetaking. This is what I currently use, but due to its small size I am looking for something bigger!

The iRex readers are probably the best you can find now.

As for me, I wil either buy an iRex or wait for V9 (probably for V9).

Note that Jinke's readers also support DjVu, which replaces PDF in some scientific papers.
