Hi, my sole purpose is to buy a single purposed PDF book reader for my PHD studies as all my textbooks & articles are written in PDF format, occasionally PS format (not a problem as I can convert PS to PDF quickly).
I need an ebook reader at size above 8", the bigger the better! (..... not talking about some body part though



) , and must greatly support PDF. Must be in e-ink, otherwise I can simply read them over my laptop but the LCD really hurts my eyes!
No wireless required, getting online, playing games or other fancy gadgets, I DON'T NEED THOSE and have no times for gaming! I buy it for reading books, tons tons of them in PDF format only!
I originally decided on the new Kindle DX graphite, but rumors said the PDF support is not very good, I wonder how bad is it?? does it fail to display graphics and some formulas incorrectly? I also have heard you can convert PDF to AZW format to make the perfect match, but I simply wonder how greatly the conversion process is.
My PDF books are solely computer course books such as algorithm design, and lots of other math books such as partial differential equation (you get the picture), which reader displays them the best?
Taking notes on PDF can be a plus but since Kindle dx doesn't seem to support that I can deal without it.
btw, I've seen people talking about Hanvon, how well is the product? They even have colored reader? I have relative in China who's about to come to the states and buying one over there isn't gonna be a problem. How good are those Chinese gizmos?
or How about the sony reader? heard it supports PDF greatly... hmm. So hard to decide.
Last, I ain't rich as Bill Gates, so anything over $1000 is definitely a no.
Thank you for any suggestions.
