I have a prs-900. PDF support on the Sony's is better than the Kindle. That being said, I have tried to read journal articles in PDF format on the Sony, and the experience is just not that great. Picture a situation where you can't read a full page at a time, so you are scrolling alot. And if you want to go back and review an earlier passage, the process is painful and slow - since you need to wait for the e-ink to update. My understanding is that the speed has improved a bit, but I would bet the process is still tedious.

Comics also don't display vey well. The bit depth of the display isn't high enough to allow for it.

You might want to consider waiting, or looking at an android device, but there you will be getting a battery hog.
