However, for PDFs, you can't beat the iPad.
To be honest with you, I thought it twice before buying my Kindle DXG but right now there is no other eink device with that size and pearl screen that allow me to read my computer books without cutting phrases or having to scroll down and up. I also weighted the fact that most of my computer books are only available at Amazon, so that was the final push.

In your opinion, how does the Kindle DXG compare to the iPad with regard to randomly accessing parts of a document?
If have found the nook classic and Kindle to be more cumbersome than the iPad when jumping around in a book. They are great for sequentially reading through material, but hopping from page 4 to page 75 to page 30 (which can happen with technical docs) just felt more laborious.
