Even for complex PDFs. It has outstanding table of content support.
If it were me I'd wait for the 901, but I have the 302 to fall back on.

Nice. So I guess the PocketBook 901 would be ideal for academic/technical pdfs. That is, unless the Kindle gets much better pdf support. But it sounds like PocketBook has a proven track record in that regard.
Two questions for you:
(1) Can you use your PB 302 to view 1/3 to 1/2 a page at a time in landscape mode without using software to separate the document into smaller sized pages? This is not really important but I'm just sort of interested if you have a spare moment to answer.
(2) How is keyword / string searching in the 302? How do you enter text to search, and can it search through groups of or all of your documents at once?
(I am thinking that handwriting is useless, since I never write in my books anyway. I do like to write stuff down, but only on a blank sheet and I don't think the stylus input on any current ereader will be good enough to write down mathematical formulas, draw graphs and diagrams for cognitive aids, etc.)
