I'm using Kindle DX 9.7". In my opinion it's very good for reading tech docs. It also supports PDFs natively. I've tested 6" DX and it is too small to reach docs w/ diagrams etc, 9.7" is a perfect screen size in my opinion.
You can't do anything else on it though (although it has a web browser, it is rather inconvenient to use), which is good and bad at the same time. If you want to use it strictly for studying, it's a good choice (no communicators, web etc that could distract your attention)...And unfortunately, its price is pretty high...
