Nice and informative thread!

I am currently in the same situation a Jian1, looking for a good eBook reader (academic use -- lot of PDFs with charts, tables and formula) to replace my dying iLiad.

To Jian1's list I'D add note-taking as a must, both by annotating a PDF as well as "freestyle" i.e. drawing / handwriting like with the iLiad.

Looking through this list and the comparison matrix mentioned earlier, I tend to the Pocketbook 903. Does it support arbitrary note taking (preferably with some stylus)?

Also a plus would be an SDK and the possibility to have shell access and install other programs ("Apps") on it. Does the 903 support that too?
