Out of interest, how many eReaders have you tried?
Compare to the Sony PRS650 - same screen used in both devices. Only difference are that the Kindle has wifi/3G, weighs more, is bigger, battery life is worse and you can buy from Amazon.
However, ePUB is quickly becoming the de facto ebook standard for every other ebook reader except kindles. Amazon has a good stock list, but at the same time its a monopoly, which is why I got rid of mine. Many more choices for buying ebooks if you *don't* buy the kindle.
For the OP, if you can get hold of a Sony PRS950 you will find it the cheapest of the big-screen readers, handles PDFs well, and allows annotations with a stylus on the screen for making notes on your docs. You can't use the Sony Connect service but it sounds like you dont need that anyways.
