I really wanted a large screen eink reader for annotating my PDFs, but I ended up getting an iPad, as the eink technology is still a little slow for non linear reading. I use Goodreader, and I love the ability to cut and paste quotes directly into Pages. It really helps when writing essays.
Confirmed by experience! Amazon has the best collection of IT books, followed by O'Reilly.

Agree with your iPad statement!
