Any idea if Jinke v9 supports annotation as iLiad does? I need to take notes on PDF.

The Chinese ebook company Jinke works on V9, a 9.7inch near-A4 ebook reader that supports PDFs. It isn't ready yet, though.

Another product of Jinke, V3, is at 6inch but has a landscape zoom level that sometimes works good sometimes not so good for scientific papers and supports PDFs but no annotation/notetaking. This is what I currently use, but due to its small size I am looking for something bigger!

The iRex readers are probably the best you can find now.

As for me, I wil either buy an iRex or wait for V9 (probably for V9).

Note that Jinke's readers also support DjVu, which replaces PDF in some scientific papers.

The V9 is not available currently so it is impossible to know exactly what it will support when it finally comes out toward the end of this year or beginning of next.

Would the PDF Annotator be similar to Acrobat Professional?

The 2730p adds a scroll wheel, which is desirable when reading in portrait mode, and a scrolling pad when typing, worth the difference to some people (I'm a 2710p owner and wish I had those two features). But you must add in anti-virus and $70 for PDF Annotator, which is great for handwritten annotations. The 2710p refurb is competitive in cost with the DR1000S. OK, not nearly as light, but with color annotations (what's a professor without a red pen?)

These weigh less than 4 lbs. and have battery life around 5 hours, with an available slice extender battery that gives all-day battery life. The dock with built-in CD/DVD costs extra.

Acrobat Pro costs 6 times what PDF Annotator does and includes very powerful PDF features, but I assume you know that already and are asking solely about inking, which is what PDF Annotator does well. I don't have Acrobat on my Tablet, so can't answer, though here is a link to a forum thread discussing inking in Acrobat 8, where one poster says "I tried the annotation in adobe and the inking support blows!"
