Amazon has no interest in this market, unfortunately. My guess is that most people that need PDF support have settled for a tablet, even though they would prefer an e-ink device.
PDF books actually work very well on the Kindle (I have a few, including the infamous 紅樓夢) they look better than Mobi files and page turns are very quick. But for complex files like technical documents this is not the right device. I also miss taking handwritten notes, as I could on the Irex.
So I guess we better wait until large screen Mirasol devices come out, then we can get the best of everything. Or the second generation of color e-ink, from a major manufacturer.
