The main reasons I got an eSLick are:
1. Cheapest available.
2. Available! Sony (and just about every other sod) doesn't sell their devices here, so no warranty and stupidly expensive postage. Foxit ships to all destinations for 25 bucks.
3. (EDIT) I only read PDFs.

Yes the eSlick does reflow, but I am not a fan of reflow.. my PDFs contain too many images, graphs, tables etc. But you can do it. AFAIK DRM PDF support is coming in a firmware update. As for the eSlick being any better or worse than the 505 or any other device, I cannot answer. My quasi-review gives my own experiences, I have none with any other ereader (as stated in the 'review') and does not say anywhere 'buy this device' or 'it is the best' or anything of the sort.
