Hi, welcome to Mobileread!

A lot of people like the iPad for PDFs.

I have a Sony PRS-600 with a 6" screen and it's PDF support is marginal, unless the pages are formatted for the smaller screen. If you read a PDF formatted for A4 paper on that small screen the writing will be really tiny. If you make the text bigger, it won't flow around the pictures. Best thing for the Sony is to read PDFs in landscape mode, then it does okay.

I think the Sony has a lot of advantages but the PDF support is not the best there is.
