Ah ok I see. Regarding the searchable PDF option, it is indeed obscure. It seems to me this means they create a PDF with OCR'ed text, but with the same column structure.
I could not help very much about the handling of PDFs in the Sony (which I have not bought yet), but it seems that the Sony has good PDF features (reflow, 2-column reading etc). However, keep in mind that 6" ebook devices are not very good with PDFs anyway. If your book has only text and no images, it would be more suitable to convert your PDF into a ePub. It will certainly be easier to read. I highly recommend you to try Calibre, that will allow you to convert the PDF to ePub, very easily.
