I am looking for my first ebookreader, and I am not quite sure where to go.

MY NEEDS:
1. Use the etextbook on the reader, to replace my paper university textbooks.
- Need to be able to take pdf files and epub
- Does anyone have any specific experience with specific textbook companies such as Pearson?

2. Read magazines, newspapers.
- Can E-ink display show colors? If not, can they still be used for magazine viewing?
- Can they be used for comic books?

3. Ebooks....... okay, I don't read a whole lot of books, but I would like to get into reading.

EXTRA CONSIDERATION: Eye Health

I was told that if you look at the computer screen, tablet display too much, your eyes get tired, and it would be bad for you. This is the reason I am considering a E-ink ebookreader, rather than a tablet from Kobo or Amazon.

I am looking for 7 inch screen size or around there.
