Hello everyone.

I currently do not own an e-book reader, but I am looking to buy one for a specific purpose. I am currently studying for a standardized exam, for which I have PDF documents that cover the required material. There is thousands of pages of information and study questions, so I figured an e-book reader would be a great place to keep all of my PDF documents for viewing. I have read through many of the threads, and it seems that PDF viewing on many devices can be hit and miss. So I was hoping to get some very specific recommendations by providing a link to the type of PDF documents I will be encountering, and from there getting advice on the type of e-reader that will best handle my information.

Here is a link to the exact type of PDF that I will be encountering (forget the colors, I do not need to see those): http://www.becker.com/accounting/cpa...3%20Update.pdf

Here is some more for you to check out, if needed: https://beckerkb.custhelp.com/app/an...82TG1sa0w0aw==

There are really a few things that I am looking for out of my e-book reader:

1) The ability to easily navigate through the PDF's I load onto the deivce. None are DRM'd.

2) The ability to bookmark sections (so I can come back and review them later, or know where I have stopped reading).

4) Hopefully sufficient rendering of diagrams (I heard this can be weird).

3) And I was hoping to spend less than $200.

Please let me know your thoughts, as I am quite new to the e-book scene and I am in need of some guidance. Thank you in advance.
