Personally I would satisfy with a kindle PW if it where big enough for the purpose.

Lots of questions, perhaps I can get some answers anyway.

many thanks,

DX is an e-ink reader.

My suggestion is to buy used Kindle DX and install Kindlepdfviewer thereon.

Installing it takes just a few minutes and it is much better PDF reader than the native one.

You can also buy M92(Icarus Excel) if handwritten annotating is important to you or simply use some tablet/e-ink simultaneously with Kindle DX.

I don't get sore eyes after reading on LCD's for hours because I use good anti-glare protection and always reduce brightness and contrast as much as possible.
