Entourage Edge - would you buy it again ?

Hi,
I am just considering different e-book readers and wanted to ask people that already have got edge if it is the right choice. I read a lot on my e-book - and I have at the moment Irex Iliad which make me almost happy. I love reading fiction on it, but I have got a lot of pdf's with technical books which doesn't look that good on my iliad. I was considering buying Irex bigger e-book reader but as there are more options available at the moment I was just wondering about Edge.
The pdf's that I read are mostly technical books - I work as a computer programmer (or used to work as I am at the moment at my maternal leave). I would like to program/write on my notebook and read a book on my e-book reader at the same time. Eventually re-read some of the chapters as I am on the go. I would have to buy my Edge in Europe so the price isnt't that competitive with other e-book readers out there.
Here are some questions about Edge :
1. How would you describe your pdf reading experience with Edge (super/with some problems/really uncomfortable) ?
2. How does annoting work ? Can you just go back to the annoted pages or have to go through each page separately to go back to ones that you have annoted ?
3. How long does it last on one battery charge ?
4. How do you read pdf's if at all ? Do you need to convert it and if so how do you convert your books ?
5. How do you use both screens ? I mean what do you use LCD for and what e-ink site for ?
And I suppose most important one :
6. Would you buy your Edge again even if you had to pay european price for it ?

Thanks a lot for all your suggestions
