If you need to sideload arbitrary documents in PDF, the Kindle DX is a much better, albeit more expensive, device. You might wait a bit and see if the rumored Apple tablet comes out. The price point will likely be in Kindle DX territory or a bit higher, but the functionality is likely to be much better. Some of the iRex readers are superb, but they're even higher priced. Thanks.

On my income, I can only buy one e-reader, and so I have to choose as carefully as possible. The sideloading feature matters a great deal to me as I'll almost certainly be dealing with PDFs of manuscripts, page galleys, book cover designs, etc. Thanks for the informed analysis.
