I really want to give the Kindle or Nook a chance. I read a lot of non-fiction and having everything on one portable device would be super convenient. The only concern I really have is whether technical books with all their code, screenshots, and diagrams are rendered properly.

I have the Kindle 2, and it's basically a non-starter for tech books. The Kindle DX, though, should be better, particularly if you have PDF versions of your books.

The Kindle DX has rendered all of my PDFs exceptionally well, including graphics. The only issues are that it is only 16 shades of grey-ish and you can't really change the zoom on PDFs (you can rotate the screen to geta little bit of zoom from landscape mode, but that's it)

Does the zoom problem hamper your ability to read small graphs? I would be concerned about graphs that fit into one of two columns on the page.
