If you don't need it until the fall I would wait because they're a bunch of 9.7" devices due Q1/Q2 this year with the flexible screens. I'm personally waiting to see the PocketBook/Netronix 900 series.

Unless you have something against Apple I wouldn't discount the iPad until you've tried it and read reviews from people that have used it for a couple weeks. My Touch actually works really well with PDF (tap on column to zoom and panning) but the screen is just to small. I'm expecting it to be a very good PDF reader.

Personally I still use a laptop for technical PDF because they're pigs on processing power.
