It is also why the Onyx T68 has made a hit with many people.
I know tablets have been rejected, but for the types of PDF the OP wants to view, there is not an eInk device (other then the new Sony 13.3" eInk PDF Reader) that will work well enough. There is no 9.7", 6", or 6.8" eInk Reader that will work well enough with all of those PDF. Such a device just doesn't yet exists and I don't think such ever will.

But to keep on topic, The only eInk device I think would work (currently) is the Sony Digital Paper DPTS1
