I'm not totally in love with the Sony Reader, and had I not bought it, I might have taken a chance on the Kindle. I read fiction on the Sony, but it's worthless for the bulk of the material I read, which is nonfiction containing art that requires good PDF rendering and a large screen--that, and holograph scans of 19th century books stitched together as PDFs.

No problem. I think I agree with an earlier poster that suggested an iLiad might be a better tool for you. It has a bigger screen (it's an 8-inch diagonal, instead of a 6-inch like the Kindle and Sony) and it has native PDF support, though like the Sony, the support for PDF isn't great (better than the Kindle, though). I'm not sure what the resolution of the iLiad is, though, so I have no idea how well it'll display the holographic scans of 19th century books!
I'm guessing though, that in the end, there isn't a product available outside of a lab that will suit your needs at this time. Give it 2-3 years though!
