Wallcraft: I have no other ebooks aside from the technical type. I am not an avid reader when aside from the requirements to stay current with the industry I am in. Partially because things change so quickly that I am constantly reading technical articles and books. A BIG shout out to Microsoft and Intel for keeping me busy!

JS: I am not looking for something to render the PDF as is. If that was my sole desire, I would use Foxit's PDF reader software, change the page background to a grey/light cream color to make it softer and easier to read while keeping it open in a second or third monitor. I am looking for something light weight that I can take with me and read, maybe look at the images if there are any and use it for reference storage.

PilotBob: The Edge is what caused me to reconsider my options. I like all the potential that it offers as you described. However, I am slightly reluctant as it is larger then my netbook and slightly heavier. Dimensions closed are nearly 8.5 x 11 x 1 and weighs in at 3 lbs. However, for an in the office device that I can carry around from mtg to mtg and use as technical library, it might be perfect. Nook does support PDF, I have seen a screen shot of a PDF taken. I am just weighing out all of my options (again) with input from all of you.

Deeply appreciate everything I am reading from all of you.
