If you're displaying a lot of paper-sized scientific PDFs, just a bit of advice: don't even consider anything smaller than Skiff or Que. Everything I've seen and read of those devices indicate that they will be perfect for what you need. The DR800 will be a compromise, and you'll kick yourself when those other readers do come out. Just a friendly thought.
I'm in Europe, so Skiff or Que will be launched even later here. As far as I can see from mgmueller's photos, the document looks pretty decent, so the DR800 looks that almost can do the job. My plan would be to buy the DR800 and sell it when a better device comes on the market (would lose 1-200€, though). Other advice is welcomed, as I have not decided for sure yet.
