The Kindle DX is good if reading is all you need, but there's no annotation ability. (And it may not be available to you, but just getting it as a reader, if you don't care about buying from Amazon, is do-able.)

Right now, there's nothing that's great for academic PDFs. The biggest problem is that a large enough screen to read them comfortably is fragile, followed by the fact that most academic reading really wants to include note-taking of some sort, and that's expensive programming.

If most of your reading is of one particular type (a small range of similarly-formatted journals, for example), you could mention that, and people might know what readers are best for those PDFs, or if there are easy programs that will make them accessible on 6" readers.
