Using Kindle/ipad for reading company and industry research

So I just got one of the Kindle's for $70 which is a bargain, but I was a little upset when I tried to convert some PDFs and throw them on there. As they didn't exactly show up. I'm a college student and I have to read a lot of shareholder reports, 10-ks, 10-qs, 8-qs, as well as cases and notes my profs put online. Pretty much everything I read is in pdf format and trying to read things off my iPhone or laptop (Dell latitude so it has a matte screen) is pretty difficult. The only thing I have an easy time reading off is the bloomberg terminal, a sheet of paper and the e-ink of kindle.

I was wondering what you guys or professionals use to read all these documents that have extensive graphs, charts, or other complex images within them. I am considering the ipad mini but I'm afraid the glossy screen might bother my eyes just as an iphone does. I really like to do reading in bed or for relaxing at the end of the day so bloomberg isn't convenient (located in my b-school).

Anyone have any suggestions or personal preferences they'd like to share?

I'll have to double check and see if my kindle can support pdf files but I thought that it couldn't. I tried reading the mcdonalds 2011 annual and all the charts were completely messed up. Granted I did convert it to .mobi so i'll give it a try later
