  2. As I mentioned, you can have PDF that are image-based and that are searchable (+ highlightable) if you check the right option for making the OCR.
However, if someone who already owns an e-reader could confirm my first assertion, it would be safer.
It is how Thierry says. He's right.

On the other hand, I have a Kindle DXG and I'm glad. I use Doukan to handle PDFs: it allows zoom of all kind, crop margins, highlights, make notes, use dictionary, read multiples columns. It't not perfect (some problem with reflow), but it is really helpful.
