Still, most of the times it's preferable to have a similar display size than your original PDFs. Most of the times, that's >>6". So a 7" tablet still can be somewhat critical. 10" is close enough to DIN A4 format.
I want to buy my first reading gadget. I need to read mainly PDF's of technical nature, no reflow possible, no other functionality needed. For the rest I can use my smartphone.

What device would you advise me to buy, in terms of performance/price ratio? Are tablets equally fit for the task as an 9,7 inch E-Ink reader? I am troubled mainly by the battery, but also I need to take into account the effects of a prolonged reading session.

Your oppinion is highly appreciated, along with several recommandations.
