Hi everyone, I have a quick question and your answer will decide whether or not I will order the new Kindle.

I am a research student and I need a device which can display pdfs since I mostly read scholarly articles. I also need to be able to highlight passages, annotate, create bookmarks and possibly to have a basic search function for each single pdf (of course for a whole collection of pdfs would be terrific).

Does the new Kindle offer all of this?
[And as an aside, for those of you who have a Kindle already: do you think that a standard A4 pdf with text (no figures) would end up too small to read on the 6 inches screen?]

I have tried to find an answer reading reviews and comments but it is pretty damn hard to have a straight answer. If you can help me it would be fantastic,

Thanks!
