Hello all,

I was wondering if you could help me. I am trying to figure out what device would work for two tasks. I need to be able to read research documents in PDF and Highlight/Annotate them (take notes). I would also like to use it to read and correct the numerous research papers that I have to read every semester.

I know that the best answer is probably a tablet PC. However, the PCs on the market are far to heavy to carry in one hand and I am a Mac user and I would not like to have to transition back. If I have to go that way i will but it is not ideal.

What are my options in the e-reader field of devices? It would just be great to have a device that can store all the papers and research and have it the size of a magazine. It would cut down on a lot of paper hauling I do.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
