1) can you really place the device in your pocket? I know I could technically get even a kindle 2 in my pocket but no way you could actually walk around with it like that as a pocketable reader....but is the "pocket" reader really pocketable?

2) does it have table of contents enabled for pdf? I can't believe that my kindle dx does not have that and whatever I buy will have to have that for certain.

3) can I read my oreilly books on it? I know I can't read many of my kindle books but it can read the epub that I see I have available to me in my online oreilly collection...right?

4) I only have an ubuntu computer...is it a real pain, do I need some windows software to put book on it? or can I just drag and drop like I do the .mobi books I have from oreilly on my kindle (yea I know I'd not be dragging and dropping the .mobi, perhaps pdf or epub).

5) can I click and zoom on the code (or whatever it is called) like I can on the kindle and kindle dx to expand code in technical books? I know its is a stretch reading the zoomed code on the kindle 2 (even can be hard on the dx) and if I did not have that ability on the smaller 5 inch, It would not even make sense to try to read the oreilly books I own.

6) finally does anyone here own the device? how does the screen (things like readability outside) compare to the kindle. how different is a 5 inch screen vs a 6 inch like on the kindle 2. Is it in reality a massive difference once you actually use the device?

thanks very much for listening. I think I need 2 ereaders...one big (like the dx) and one really portable like the sony...I just don't know if reading is actually feasible on a device that size...

thanks again for listening....
