academic ereading

Hallo,

I just arrived here and already have a quastion...

I'm looking for an ereader for academic reading so I can spare me that whole printing out and colour-marking thing. I got a whole lot of scanned books (partly 2 pages on one sheet) and scripts in PDF which I would like to read on an ereader, so it should be able to display footnotes and page numbers so that I can "normally" excerpt the texts.

I guess, a 5" device will be a little too small, but it shouldn't be more that 8 or 10", I really would like to read fiction in my free time and in the train, etc.

From what I've already read, a Sony PRS-600 Touch and an Onyx Boox 60 sound promising. Also the Cool-es readers with colour and WiFi sound great, but those aren't available yet.

Is there already a suitable device on the market or should I wait for what CES and CeBit bring?

Best wishes from Vienna, Austria,
Carminis
