I disagree, I have a powerpoint presentation in my PRS-505 as pictures and all the graphs and so on look very good. Also I expect (outside of perhaps heavy biology papers with cell cultures and so on) scienctific papers to be generally legible in normal e-ink displays.

I think the problem is finally to find something a) available (there's nothing right now), b) cheap and c) lightweight... all absent at the moment, cause right now I'm having my doubts about the iPad's capability for reading scientific pdfs =(
