I did the same, back in the day my OB device was still alive. Drawback was that you could only look at a small part of one page at the time, and that there were pdf-documents that were difficult to read on the 6''. A good example for this being pdfs like this: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/1...2346.12700/pdf

These left almost no space for highlighting and even the most basic scribbling on the margins while maintaining readable size of letters.

With the 6'' OB device, I must add, I generally could not make detailed handwritten notes. I had to reduce annotation to highlighting, and scribbling lines, exclamation and questions marks on the margins without having to scroll/pan (I had no stylus, using hand touch). With the 9.7'' this would be better, but I do not expect it to be perfect; as with the Ipad where you can read the whole pdf page on the screen and then when you want to make a handwritten note you can partially zoom in and insert your note very easily, quickly and fluently.

[But I am not sure if I had the same reader app you had.]
