It depends on what e-ink reader you are talking about, its size and price.

I can highlight(by underscoring only) ocr-ed pdfs on Kindle Dx using kindlepdfviewer and get list of all underscored parts, but I don't think you will be glad with its speed for academic purposes.

I can highlight, annotate with keyboard, annotate with scribblings, scribble on ocr-ed pdf on Sony PRS T1, but it is 6" reader, so it is good for A5 sized pdfs after optimization in k2pdfopt for landscape view or for two-column A4 sized pdfs.

You can do all you need on M92 but it will maybe still be slow for your academic purposes, so you can wait a few more weeks when new M92 i.e. M96 is expected to come out and see if it is fast enough for you.

You can try to get 13.3 " e-ink pdf reader Sony DPT-S1, available in Japan for 1000 $ and expected in America in a couple of months for 1200 $.

As for tablets, there are no such problems since there are dozens of good free pdf readers and annotators for iOS and android, also tablets are quick enough and have got color, so if reading on e-ink screen is priority to you (because of eye-strain, for reading outdoors a lot, reading indoors with lots of lights around etc.) you can simultaneously use tablet for annotation and quick referencing and e-ink for reading.

If you want good and cheap tablet for pdf annotation you can buy used iPad 1 or 2 together with some good antiglare mate screen protector and download free pdf readers and annotators like Perfect Reader 2, Pdf-Notes, GoodNotes, Adobe reader, Foxit etc.
