And I suspect that to read really large high res. image pdfs, the amount of ram and processor speed must be much larger than is common on current android tablets.
I agree as well, but after 1.5 years I got tired of waiting and gave into a sale at my local Costco. I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 a few weeks ago, specifically for reading PDFs, and for that purpose, I love it. The form factor is great, as is having color.

I love my Kindle 3, and it's still my first choice reader, but I feel like my PDFs are finally liberated.

I would definitely not try reading a book on default (full) brightness.
