Wow, thank you so much for those screenshots, cbell! It looks like the iLiad doesn't have any problems with the pdfs and doesn't really require any pre-processing either. This is the default PDF viewer and not the third-party all-in-one iPDF software that I have seen others discuss on these forums? So, all of the functionality on the screen (annotation, page flipping etc.) is available? That's great! I am really leaning towards the iLiad now.

Gideon, the Kindle has tempted me strongly because of its easy availability in the US, the diverse selection available on the Amazon store and the Whispernet but I have just never seen how any images of how these PDFs would look on the Kindle. May be you could help out by providing such screenshots on your Kindle? BTW, I am eagerly awaiting the 9th February Amazon event in the hope that they will unveil a 2nd generation Kindle with better PDF support and a larger screen.

Thanks again, guys! This is really helpful.
