Visplex was certainly considered "good enough" before Pearl came out, but a high end reading device with a 2nd class screen is something to be aware of before buying.

See PocketBook 602 PDF Review. The 602 is a 6" Reader, but the software is the same on the 902/903. The eBook Reader site also has a Kindle DX review. The problem with the KDX is not an inability to display PDFs, but rather a lack of basic features like table of contents support.

By the way, the kind of PDFs you describe are not good candidates for conversion to a reflowable format (MOBI for the KDX or ePub for the PocketBooks). So native PDF support is what you need.
Thank you!

After revewing the matrix, how about Sony PRS-950? it utilizes e-ink pearl and supports PDF.

ETA: I mainly read under good light condition, will e-ink pearl be drastically better than vizplex?
