best ebook reader for displaying schematics?


I work on industrial equipment on offshore oil rigs. I frequently find myself lugging my laptop or cumbersome schematic books into bilges and other nasty places. I want to buy an ebook reader that will let me display schematics (PDF format) which are generally about twice the size of a regular 8.5″X11″ sheet. It will need to have 4 way scrolling so that I can view the whole page in full size. It must also have a search feature, as I also frequently find myself searching for a single word in 1500+ page manuals. It would be nice if it were small in size (hopefully small enough to fit into a large coveralls pocket). Also, it would be good if the device is ruggedly designed (milspec, shock proof, water proof, etc). ooh yeah, and a backlight would be handy for those dark cramped spaces. Thanks!
