Anyway, I've been looking around the MR forums for info on best practices and user experiences (and recommendations for a device. Like evilrooster, I'm also between devices, so I read PDFs on my MacBook right now). If you have anything, feel free to post some links to threads (don't go OT though—just links. I don't want to hijack the thread!). Thanks all!

Pablo, as an editor, I would think (I say with a great deal of ignorance) that you would want an ebook reader that allowed you to at least highlight and bookmark problem areas and possibly to correct them at the time. I know that when I scan & OCR one of my favorite pbooks so I have an ebook version, I tend to do my final proof read on my palm PDA for that reason. It does not have any ability to correct but with the highlight & bookmark I can more quickly make corrections on my computer.
Reason, I'm saying all this is, if you should find an eink display device that will allow the highlight (many already allow bookmarks), I would be very interested in that device.
Oh, & welcome to the forum.
