Now hat I think of it, actually the biggest question would be about what kind of experience people have with reading text pdf's on 6 inch screens - is it really awkward, or is it tolerable? Zetmolm has already sketched out some points on this issue

It's not terrible (at least in my experience). It really depends on the particular PDF that you are using. Some of my PDFs read like a dream, some don't. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the reflow worked when I got my PRS-505 in general, and newer devices like the 650 have great zoom options, better sceens, and can even darken the text which is great for scanned PDFs. I would love to have a 9 inch screen for my PDFs, however. If you need to read PDFs but are going to hold out on getting a 9 inch screen, check out how the PRS-650 and the 950 handle PDFs.

The K3 doesn't seem bad, either, but I'd say that the 950 is probably the best non 9 inch reader for PDFs.
