Suggestions for an engineer's ereader?

Hi All,

I've been reading mobileread.com for awhile but this is my first post.

I am looking for an ereader with very specific characteristics.

1. I need to be able to read a pdf on the ereader, highlight text, save, and then drag back to a PC without losing the pdf or highlights. Having text notes do the same thing would be awesome but I can compromise on this.

3. I need to drag MS Excel files onto the ereader, open the file and have the scripts useable to answer multiple choice questions and then move on to the next question.

Is there anything that can do this yet? I've been watching the ereader market for two years and I still do not know if a device with these qualities is available and user-friendly. I prefer an ereader over a tablet due to weight and battery life.

Cheers,
phil
