The Sony does a pretty decent job of reading PDFs, but even though I'm a huge Kindle fan, I have to disagree about the Kindle being one of the best for reading PDF documents. Both the Sony and the Nook allow for native re-flow of text, which beats the stuffing out of the Kindle's zoom and pan function.

At the risk of being called a troll, I personally feel it's the only advantage the Nook (original flavor) or the Sony (I have a PSR-600) have over the Kindle, although I can't speak of how it stacks up to the newer generation Sonys or the NookColor.

Which brings me to a question. I found the virtual keyboards on both my Sony Touch and the Nook (v1.5 firmware) I sold to be exasperatingly slow. Not being an e-ink device, I image the touchscreen keyboard on the NookColor is much more responsive. Is this true? Does anyone out there have experience with typing on both an NC and an iPad?
