I was planning on reading both PDFs and novels on an eReader, however, there lies the problem.....when I am reading PDFs, I would like the DS1000S, but when I am reading novels, my choice would be the Sony PRS-505 or PRS-700.
I am not going to get two readers though. lol.

Actually, here in Australia, the cost of the PRS-505 is roughly $450, the PRS-700 is $750, the iLaid is $1300 and the DS1000S is $1400.
So, the iRex devices are quite expensive, I may end up going with a Sony. The PDFs that I read are programming manuals and I am usually on a PC at the same time, programming, so I could keep on viewing them on my PC screen (work gives me two monitors anyway)....and then get a Sony for my personal usage and any PDF that doesn't have too many images.

I have seen that CHMs can be converted to PDFs, so I could always have a go at doing that to see what they turn out like.
