Hi,
I currently don't have an e-reader but was looking for one to use primarily for reading PDFs. After reading a number of threads, it appears that the 950 might be the best e-reader for viewing PDFs. However, I noticed that some mentioned that there were font problems and scaling problems and that Sony does not release firmware updates. Are these resolved using the PRS+ firmware? Do you think that I should buy the 950 if all I do is read PDFs, especially considering that Sony might very well leave the US market soon and might not have this option soon? Thanks.
