Please help I am really worried about the fact that I may have spent $350 that took me time to earn on a device that will be almost useless for my purposes

Thank you all
I got Sony for the very same purpose and am reading a lot of articles and book chapters on it. In most cases you have to read in landscape mode, but it usually quite good; it you OCR the scanned PDF in Acrobat prior to uploading it to Sony, you will be able to highlight the text and add comments.

Sony is a pretty good option for this purpose, although an extra inch would have been great.
