OK, the more I read here, the more I want to buy a reader. The thing is, most of my reading is professional and academic journals, which use a variety of .pdf sizes, up to 8.5 x 11 (A4, I believe?)

Are there screenshots anywhere of how these documents would appear on the Sony 505, or other? (I'm in Canada and so can't buy a Kindle yet.) As far as I can tell all the 9.7 inch displays are not yet in existence. And a related question: if I wanted to buy something today, what is the best option for heavy PDF reading? (Right now, I'm leaning towards making do with my laptop until the 9.7 inches are on the market.)

Any suggestions most appreciated.
