I would concur with the others here, that the browser is not all that good. I almost never use it. It is sooo sloooww! Suggestions made to use kindle (i have a KDX) while tethered to USB port along with something like Instapaper; along with a "print to PDF" (which is what I do) works reasonably well. I also do a lot of research like you -- I have found the Firefox add-on "Scrapbook Plus" very helpful in gathering page fragments from a variety of sources, compositing them into a longer synthetic document before turning it into a PDF. I have found that the KDX is not to my taste for reading lots of short pieces, but it is superb on longer docs. I buy a lot of technical computer books which are available in both PDF and mobi formats. The PDFs are publisher perfect; the mobis are god-awful. The PDF reader on the KDX is good, but it could be better (main drawback is can't scale fonts). A few tweaks from Amazon could fix this, it is close, but not quite the equal yet to the Adobe PDF reader. Hope this helps.
