A big part of my job is reading PDF documents (specifications, tender documents, contracts, plan sets et al) and The difference between a computer screen and an e-ink ereader is very distinct.
An e-ink screen provides the closest representation to a paperback page that there is at current.
Friends and acquaintances alike have told me the transition to a dead tree book to an ereader was far easier than they would have thought possible. Indeed this would be largely due to e-ink screens being so easy to read from.
I am coming from the direction of reading fiction or paperback size non-fiction ebooks, not complex scanned PDF reference works or technical documents. The 5-6" ereader is NOT designed to display such documents rather ebook novels.
If you want to read such documents consider investing in an iPad or device that will allow efficient display of PDF documents.
