Thanks, Carrie, for sharing your experience and extensive study.
From my research, I'd really like to try a pair of readers. I would use them almost entirely for free pdf's, and for downloads from web sites that get converted to pdf or another ebook-compatible format with links. The Irex 1000 line has a 10" diagonal, 1280x1024 that looks nice for reference documents, especially full page diagrams. The Sony 500 and up line has a 5x7" case that could fit inside a planner notebook. This would of course be with money available after a reasonable personal savings contingency fund.
I like the Kindle's keyboard, but I really don't like the way they handle DRM.
