Welcome. I have a Sony PRS 505 and also a Kindle -- both for recreational reading. I'm planning on buying an ultra-small laptop on which to read the technical PDF files used in my job. I haven't seen a suitable eInk device for reading the PDFs that have been formatted for A4 ("Letter" in the USA) paper. Given that they can't be resized, it seems obvious to me that PDFs were really intended to be printed rather than read on a screen.

But back to the Sony. Go for it! There are so many good books about -- particularly here at MobileRead. Even if you don't use it to read the research papers it's still a good thing to own an electronic book reader.
