I'm tempted to sell the 700 and buy the Pocket Pro for $199 but not without getting some feedback about the PDF reflow compared to the Sony. Thanks! Skoobwoman
I have both ebook readers--well, my Sonys are a 500 and a 505--but frankly PDF reflow is bad on all three. I haven't used PDF much on the PPro for just that reason. It seems to be a little bit better but I think that's probably due to the smaller screen, which causes more page breaks so you don't have quite so many places where text is left hanging halfway down the screen.
