This is clearly part of my 'learning curve'......
From what I have read here on the forums so far, the iLiad appears to be able to handle technical PDF documents quite nicely. There is a post here (somewhere!) that shows one of the VMware manuals on an iLiad. Since I have the paper-based versions, I can make something of a comparison to the photos that were upload. It looks pretty good to me!
That said, I found a PRS-505 at a local Borders this evening, which gave me some hands-on time with that particular unit. Even though I have read the specs, I was surprised as to how compact this reader actually is. The built-in font sizes appear to be just fine for reading whatever text was loaded into the demo reader. I think if I could (also) get a 40% discount ($299 - $120 = $179) that I wouldn't think twice about buying it!
Being the thorough person that I am, I did up a quick set of AutoCAD drawings of the PRS-505 and the iLiad so that I can get a better appreciation of the size differences. With the screen size of the iLiad being just about the same size as the entire -505, it does make the decision that much more difficult.
