I'm in the same boat. I probably have 20 programming ebooks in PDF form that I'd love to read properly. I also have the same number of photography books. Because of the photography books I'm considering an iPad but really want to wait for a retina screen iPad 3

So maybe a cheap Kindle is the answer in the meantime. I'm not enthusiastic about ePub even though some of my books would have ePub versions. The books just don't seem as nice to read, and I can't imagine they deal with code sections very well?

The same here. I have tons of books in PDF that I read at the same time. I was told that eReaders are really easy on eyes as opposed to iPad. Cost is also a factor. eReaders are typically not more than $200 (canadian) while iPad is still more than that. I understand that it provides more functionality, but I am really looking for just a reader.
