e-Reader for PDF capability?

[tokie]

So I was thinking about getting either a Nook or a Kindle for reading PDF's. Are they useful for this at all, or do PDF's get messed up with respect to formatting?

My objective for this was to read articles from academic journals on the e-ink display, since I detest reading these 30+ page PDF's on a computer screen. Sometimes my eyes feel like they are going to fall out after a days work. I don't care about the note taking capability of them, since I could just jot out notes by hand.

Both should do it. Just google reviews. Got the girl a kindle for the exact same thing.

I have a Kindle DX and haven't had many problems with PDFs on it. Only a few pre-generated ones were messed up.

CutePDF + Kindle DX = win.

If you have a sample PDF, I can post a screen shot of what it looks like on the Kindle DX. (alt + shift + G makes a screen shot on it)
