Yes, you're right about the 6'' screen for scanned pdf: I tried the Sony PRS-660 with that sort of file and I had to use the zoom and that made the all thing significantly slow...

I was about to include a table of the prices for all the relevant machines and found that Amazon had just cut the price of the DX from $489 to $379 in the last few minutes. I wouldn't be surprised if the price drops again to around $300 in September.

I'm now feeling psychic, perhaps I should put a bet on the world cup?

LOL

Still a bit high at $379, but the new Graphite color seems enticing.
