Hi,
I've been using a Sony PRS-505 for a few years now and it's time to upgrade I believe. I primarily read text PDF's that I usually convert with Calibre. I am looking for something that weighs less than the 505, has the ability to use a dictionary to look up words from PDF's, and possibly a bigger screen although the 6 inch screen has served me well so far but a 7" inch screen would probably be ideal. Should I look for an older Sony Daily Edition or just get a new T1 to save dough? I don't really care about the wi-fi or 3G aspects really. I would go after the Kindle 3 with the new e-ink display but I don't really like the keyboard on the bottom. I sometimes wish I could get Kindle books but I guess I could always download them to my PC and rip the DRM offf no?
Any insight would be appreciated.
