Yes and yes.
The size of the DR1k means pdfs are easy to read and even if you have multiple columns, changing to landscape and reading is not a problem. Especially for technical papers. For books, I dare say the 8" illiad or proposed DR800 would suit.
The note taking works as it comes, but the default merging software is pretty awful. However the xournal application that Mackx has done a lot of work porting to the irex is wonderful. It should be the default application.
Convenient? Well it depends on what you are doing. If you just want a quick note, remember it takes 60s to boot up, (future firmware updates may help here) however once running it's fine. It is about the size of an A4 pad of paper. You do need to lock off some of the capacitive buttons when writing else there will be a few surprises.
