Just got my Nova 3 Color the other day so I'm still getting used to it. However, I suspect that it would not be ideal for your purposes.
While it is possible to read textbook style PDFs on the device, it is not an optimal size for such purposes. The 10.3" Note size ereader is much more comfortable for viewing such PDFs if you are looking for something more portable than a 13.3" device.
As the above person noted, the screen is quite dark and so it needs the light on when reading unless one is in a very brightly lit environment. This is not a problem for me, but it could be for people who are very light sensitive.
Textbooks with diagrams in the epub format do not work well with the native Neoreader app. There are a lot of glitches that need to be fixed. However, such books do read quite well when using Moon+ Reader. But then you lose the ability to annotate the book.
Ghosting is a significant issue, much more so than on a non-colour eink ereader. While it is possible to manually refresh the page, doing so is a bit cumbersome at the moment. I hope that they will fix this in a future update.
I am enjoying my Nova 3 Color and will be keeping it. But I would probably not be as happy with it if I were using it extensively for academic or work related purposes. There are a lot of things which they still need to work out with colour eink screens and there are a good number of glitches which Onyx need to work out with the 3.1 software.
