Using a 6-inch e-ink device [Nook simple touch] for reading PDFs will, in my opinion, give you unsatisfactory results.
Too, converting PDFs into epubs will not give one a pleasant reading experience.
If you're set on e-ink, then you should look into a larger screen size. I have a Kindle DX-G e-ink screen and it is perfect for novel reading.
You should also check into the type of reading you'll be doing. Perhaps a tablet, in your case, might be the way to go.
Or perhaps wait to see what newer e-ink devices will soon be coming to market, those with larger screens.
Be aware that if you start to look at the Kindle DX-G, that it is an older piece of hardware (still sold, however), and that it has limited PDF function. BUT, as mentioned, I read mainly novels. I also read literary criticism in PDF form, and this is more than acceptable - for me.
