I am a graduate student in CS and I bought the iRex DR1000s with similar intent. So far it has been wonderful for reading PDFs downloaded from online journals. Most articles are perfectly readable without modification and the DR1000s will auto-crop of the whitespace in the margins, and there is a zoom to bounding box feature for those that that are a bit too small to read otherwise. At the moment, there is minimal support for power management, but that is supposed to be rectified with a new firmware update in the next few days. However, until that firmware is shown to solve the currently known issues, it is best to really understand the current limitations of the device.
