Yes, I read journal articles in PDF form on my iLiad frequently. It works well, though multi-column pages are still kind of annoying. I have good vision, so I usually read in portrait mode, zoom to eliminate margins, and use the "continuous" page advance. If the text is too small, I switch to landscape mode. You might want to try taking a journal page and photocopying it to different sizes, and looking at it through an A5 window cut in a piece of paper or cardboard, to get an idea of what the screen will look like.
I have the earlier model (before the larger battery was added) and I get 8-10 hours of note-taking per charge, or probably about 12 hours of reading with no stylus use.
