Finally, the "extras" on the Kindle add to its value, but fall way short of the iPad....
So, that's that. Thank you, mobileread-ers, for helping me do my own research on what to buy, ereader-wise. I hope these comments are of help to the next poor grad student to stumble upon this site in search of the holy ereader-grail.

I have had also the same thoughts about KindleDX vs iPad but ... but a lot of people here are of the opinion that the pdf reader of the DX is horrible for technical pdfs (no zoom, no anotations) and that's a biggie for me. As for the iPad becoming obsolete, I don't really mind! As long as it reads the pdfs I'm ok with it. If there's an even thinner AND (important) larger iPad (which I don't expect) THEN and only then will I be angry. 3G, Apps and other bells and whistles don't interest me. As for the screen I don't mind reading on LCD but the glare... why on the Jesus' name do modern techs prefer shiny displays over antireflecting ones
? I just don't get it.
