But stretching a K3 vertically by 1 inch would make it too tall! Don't forget that the Kindles have a keyboard and the Sonys don't. I owned a 900 for a while, and frankly it was not worth the extra money over a 6 inch screen. I thought it would be better for PDFs, but alas PDFs on ANY eInk screened reader, including the KDXG, suck. The K3 actually does a better job with PDFs than the KDXG or the Sony readers, but none are acceptable for viewing PDFs IMO. They might work for you, but they don't work for me. But then neither is a PC, MAC, or iPAD. PDFs just won't work well for me on any device.
