I have wanted a large screen (9.7 inch) e-ink reader for a number of years, but the Kindle DX has not had the best reviews regarding its PDF capabilities (although I was very, very close to purchasing one before ultimately deciding to get an iPad), and the other large-screen devices did not have Pearl e-ink. I would have loved to see Sony make a device with a large screen, as I love the firmware on their ebook readers. I use a tablet (iPad 2) for most of my PDF ebook reading, and while the iPad is very functional in that respect (I'm tempted to upgrade it to the newest model, though, because of the improved DPI) I do find it a strain to read on a backlit screen for long periods of time. I would definitely consider purchasing an e-ink reader with a large screen even now, if I found it to my liking. I imagine that I would miss the iPads super-responsive display, though, which makes non-linear reading a treat.
