I guess cropping the PDFs myself won't be too bad.

You should probably check out the Kindle forum and read up on DX pdf support. My experience has been hit or miss... sometimes the pdfs are rendered well, other times the text is displayed small, gray, and almost unreadable. I've had good luck with technical pdfs (I'm a software engineer, so I read tons of technical pdfs), but the lack of link support can be annoying. The latest update which is coming out soon will add zoom support for pdfs.

I will check out the Kindle forum, especially the DX pdf support. I am wondering, though, if I can create a bookmark at the beginning of each chapter, then jump to my bookmarks through a bookmark menu. I read a few threads mentioning pdf bookmarks, but I didn't notice anyone mention whether you can solve the pdf navigation problem using multiple bookmarks. I was thinking I could use my laptop to quickly scroll through a pdf, and note the page number for each chapter, then jump to those page numbers and set bookmarks.

You may want to also consider an iPad. I know, it's an lcd, but reading on it is still comfortable (not as great as the Kindle) and it has full pdf features (buy Goodreader for $1, amazing pdf reader).

Thanks for all of the information. I'm working on a few Android apps, so I'm sort of biased in favor of Notion Ink Adam if I get a tablet, but the iPad does look fantastic and like you said we haven't seen the Adam yet.
