After some consideration over which eInk reader to buy in order to be able to read those darn pdf's with too many tables, bullet points and varying fonts and sizes, I bought a phone with an Awesome Screen. It reads PDF's the way they were supposed to be displayed plus if I want to read eBooks that I already have on my eReader, they are just one tap on the nookApp away. It is not a screen as big as tablets', but has plenty of real estate already and renders images beautifully.
Yes it isn't eInk and glare is there, but it is highly portable and multifunctional, I am already carrying it with me most of the time and I consider this problem solved.
eInk readers that are comfortable with displaying PDF's correctly are never going to come out. Makers of such readers and content distributors are just to darn happy to lock us up in their own proprietary formats that are supposed to be the next big thing to beat PDF.
That's it for my eInk reader shopping. I don't have "too damn many eBook readers" and I was choosing what to buy. If they ever come out with a eInk computer screen, I may reconsider. Till then...
