I am personally looking forward to plasticlogics 8.5x11 screen sized reader which is supposed to be out first half of next year for this type of content. It will also be nice cause it will display word and excel documents and it could be used in meetings (since I don't have a laptop at work.)

You pretty much summed up my position right there. I've converted some specs and books to read on my Kindle but it's just not worth it. I like having a small reader for novels and such, but when a good large-screen option comes out, I'll be getting it for work. Out of the current options, the iLiad is the only one I would consider for reference PDFs but I didn't feel it was quite there yet for my needs so I decided to wait a bit.
