#2: A case is the best investment you can make. The eink screens can be very delicate. I dropped mine, and destroyed it. Normal handling isn't a problem, but sharp jolts are very, very bad.

#3: PDFs are really more a print medium than on-screen, and as you say, the screen is too small to be very good. Depending on how the file is formatted, the nook classic might be able to re-flow it, so that you can get text big enough to read without having to scroll back and forth (which, BTW, the nook color can't do), so it might work out. But it's a pretty small screen for that.

#4: The web browser does kinda suck, yeah. If you root it, there are other options.
