Thank you for your input. I also read this comment in another thread, which pretty much made me decide.

If you intend to read a lot of PDFs for academic/research, you need a larger screen, like the Kindle DX; trying to read letter-sized PDFs on a 6" screen is a recipe for madness. You can do a few of them, but you're really not going to want that as a permanent method.

Worth noting:
No e-reader is really good for academic support. The navigation software doesn't support flipping back & forth between multiple books or chapter sections; the bookmarking/annotation options are rudimentary; display of PDFs is, charitably, limited. E-readers are designed for leisure reading, and they're incredible for that; using them for anything else takes creativity and causes frustration.

Guess I won't be buying an e-reader this time around, since I don't have much time for leisure reading. Also ebooks are not as big in Denmark, so we don't have a lot of them here, and I read much faster in Danish. Maybe one day I'll buy one with a bigger screen, but for now I don't have the money.
