I would echo the above comments.

Just purchased my Sony PRS-505 and spent the day working on the PDF issue.

1. I researched iRex, Gen3, Kindle, etc., and read all the proprietary forums nightmares on customer service.

2. Delighted with Sony. SonyStyle store gave 30 day return/refund slip from Christmas Day, and offered $24 extended, or $44 2-year accident/replacement - GET THIS.......read many substrate eLink issues regarding ease of breakage.

3. Running MAC Intel Quad-core with Parallels shell running Windows XP. No problem with sync, install, buying books etc. Very seamless Sony software and intuitive updates.

4. Just downloaded from this site the PDFLDF program for conversions of PDF files. Works like a charm, and I am not a programmer or developer. New version has great interface.

Much of this is anecdotal, but I have been pleased with the return policy, ease of use, warranty available, visplex eLink screen and upgraded refresh on page turning.
