I assume that I may be better off with a big screen for some of these files.

That was my impression from what I remember. I think it's fairly safe to say that a 6" reader will not satisfy you in this respect.

If you decide on a Kindle, I would definitely advice you to buy it through your American connections. There is no physical difference between the devices sold in USA or Europe. It's only dependant on what account it's registered to and what address is connected with the account.
I have an American address connected with my account set as default address and have so far not had any issues about buying Kindle books. But I don't buy a lot and perhaps simply fly below their radar. So to speak.

I think I will primarily use this for pleasure reading, though if possible it could be nice to use it for academic purposes...although who knows if the texts I will need will be available in ebook format?

I think it's best to worry about what you need now rather than later. And who can say what Det Kongelige Bibliotek will offer in a year or two or three?
