Saw a video on Youtube demonstrating the pdf capabilities of the N810 (same screen size and resolution): click here.

Perhaps wait for the next generation of 9.7" eInk readers?
Thanks Johannes. I decided to go for an iPhone as soon as my T-mobile contract expires. I tested its built-in PDF reader and it's quite good. I decided that I just wanted something small enough to carry, and if this device also is a cellphone, the better.

I took a look at the N810, and it seems like a very cool device indeed.
