The device that is the best at handling PDFs and allowing you to read while it's dark outside is a laptop (or netbook) computer. Of course, it has its own problems when it comes to reading in full sunlight.
If I were looking for an e-Ink device for academic and technical reading, I'd go with one of the large-format devices from Amazon or iRex.
But for the time being, my use of a reader is for recreational/fiction reading. And a 6-inch device is just fine. I am keeping an eye on the various 5-inch devices that are coming out this summer and may add one more reader to my collection.
