I now use an iPad, and find it much superior for reading and annotating pdfs, it's much easier to maneouvre back and forth in a document, I never have issues like the ones I encountered in the link above, and options for organising and annotation pdfs are much more sophisticated. While reading on e-ink is slightly more comfortable, reading on a iPad is much more comfortable than reading on a computer screen. Battery life isn't an issue as I charge it overnight, and sun light isn't an issue for me as I do most of my work in my office. YMMV.
Hello,

Thanks for your remark

I understand the issue you just link about, but I will read mostly technical stuff, sure there are PDFs but there is also a lot of ePub, and mobi and things like that.
That's why I was looking for an ereader instead of a tablet. I don't want an iPad, I'm not really a big Apple-fan, and the whole ecosystem around. I do not want to have a tablet because it isn't for reading, it's for a lot of things AND you can read on it. It hasn't been made for that, instead of the ereader.
Much more comfortable, dedicated to reading, more battery, doesn't tire your eyes as much as a tablet etc.
