"but I have read that its PDF functionality is very limited. ...... I was in a similar position to you, and will need my reader for a lot of pdfs"

Let me summerize my experience so far:

ebook, epub etc: go for a smaller device than 9.7"
- a 9.7" is great to read but I dislike to move around with such a large device. On the other hand my focus is to read PDFs.

A4 pdf: I enjoy reading pdfs on a large display and the PB 90x is perfect for that

Newspaper PDFs: I still have no opinion

PB903:
(zooming) I miss the flexibility to use the pen for zooming - I find it pretty bad but for A4 PDFs it is still fine

(annotation) You only mentioned reading. If that is your only concern the PB is certainly good enough. However, if you want to do more like annotating - you are in trouble.

Overview:
PDF only 9.7"
Annotating: No better device known to me - I hope for a better software release in future.
