It's small enough to carry around easily, and desktop-sized pdf's are very legible on it. Plays movies well, too. Wish it would read .chm's without decompiling.

Sort of annoying- carry a clunky laptop around, and you are able to watch movies, read pdf's, connect to the net. Can't do all of this with just one of the smaller devices.....

I am still very disappointed with the Sony reader's "pdf support." When are they going to fix this problem? I bought deskUNPDF, but conversion to .lrf with this software still has formatting problems....
Sorry to meander a fair bit but my experience with the N8x0 & PDF's is just the opposite...the display is simply too small to support most PDF's w/o a significant amount of horizontal scrolling...and no handleld out right now really does a good job of PDF support. Of course that usually lies at the feet of whoever created the PDF but also with Adobe and their tools for PDF reading and/or creation.
