Just picked up a 300. It doesn't have the zooming/panning feature. You can just increase the font-size, which strips out tables/images. You can also reorient the screen, which maintains the layout on...

in stores?

People in the U.S. have started to see them at the Sony store, though not available for purchase until November 14th. Has anyone seen a display model of the PRS-700 in Canada yet?

The DR could actually be my first eInk device (excluding my Motofone). Right now I have 50+ PDFs, mostly on computer programming topics, that would be much nicer to read through with eInk on a large...

Indeed, the touch screen should be the usual Wacom tablet deal, which goes in behind the screen and senses the stylus.

Or rather, it reflects :-). Which is the benefit of buying one instead of using my MacBook to read PDFs.

Has anyone had success with the Sony Reader store under VMware (or...
