Looking for recommendations

All:

I am looking at all the different devices and would like some help understanding which if any devices can do the things I need. I guess I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the information and need to help of those more educated on e-books.

I have a number of large 300+ page PDFs I need to reference very often in my job and would like to do this using an e-book. The one important feature I need is the ability to search the PDFs for specific text. For example, one document is a list of specifications and I need to be able to search for the specific specification number to pull up the information on demand.

Is there a device out there that can give me?:
1. Ability to view PDFs.
2. Ability to search the text of the PDF.

I am less concerned about price as they all seem to be within an acceptable range. Color is definitely not a necessity and I would happily take monochrome with decent resolution.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions/comments anyone may be able to provide.

Thanks,
Jason Tsongas
