I understand your quest (I did the same a month ago!) Now I use the Pocketbook 301+ with good results. It has no annotations, nor a touch screen, but:
- Great screen with no glares (unlike my previous Sony PRS600)
- Great PDF viewers (two of them) with autocrop margins
- Manual zoom
- Two columns mode that really works! (you can actually read A4 papers)
- Never crushed on me with very complex documents (equations, graphs, diagrams, tables)
- Excellent dejaview viewer

For some screenshots see the Pocketbook forums.

In landacape mode it is quite nice. Many of my books are also math and I am happy with it. Sure, an 8" screen would be better but also more expensive, much bulkier and not very comfortable to travel with. The perfect reader does not exist; right now your parameters are: price, features, convenience and mobility.

Concerning the look, nothing to brag about: it's another EB-600 clone, but the firmware it's all that makes the difference. Good look in your choice.
