I also really like the capabilities offered by the "GoodReader" app on the iPad, in particular the ease it brings to rapidly flipping between multiple documents, something which is critical for academic research use, and the ability to easily load documents from virtually any online source or Cloud storage service.
The Sony seems like an excellent device, but it doesn't fit my personal requirements.

Thanks HarryT, besides the factors you're mentioning, what about the "optical" experience of reading, what's more pleasant and relaxing to your eye, the Ipad Pro display or any other e-ink tablet that you might have experienced? Thanks for your feedback.
On a separate note, you seem to put a lot of emphasis on the storage capacity. Isn't that easily solved by using a high capacity USB pendrive? Or a NAS unit accessible both at home/office or from the internet?
