Maybe it's a software fault, whatever, the fact is that for tech. docs like that, a PDF reader on a laptop/netbook/tablet is a better option.

Aren't those 6" ereaders? I can read .PDFs on my 5" jetBook Lite, but that would be my
last choice. My ASUS Transformer can do all that you are asking for, and more, but it
uses an LCD display so is not that great in the sun.
I don't place the blame on the display type, though. The size of the display, matters, for
PDFs. That is as far as reading them is concerned. I would think that most of the other
features you want could be covered by features used in the teacher students setting.
In other words, the current Color jetBook might be an "eInk reader" that does work
well with PDFs.
