About the iPhone, I tried the PDF reader and it works well for me. I will be mostly reading text (computer books and academic journal articles), and not magazines (where you would definitely be needing to zoom in/zoom out all the time.
I have other reasons for getting an iPhone as well (I want to do software development on them), so it seems like the perfect match for my particular needs.

Hi calverez,
like you, i have a fair number of pdf's too. I still want to buy a dedicated reader, looking at the Assus Eee they bought a 9" ones out with more memory and one that runs windows xp and one on linux - but that'll be too big for your needs.
I recently bought iphone, after playing with itouch and being very impressed with it (btw it works brilliantly on TMobile, Im on the web n walk plan, even gprs works without setting anything up). Theres a couple of pdf's viewers on iphone, they are still rough round the edges, but ok for viewing pdfs for reference use. For more comfortable reading, a larger device like the 9" Eee would handle my needs.

ps. u mention you do software dev - i used to develop a lot in the old days (delphi / pascal), looking at picking it up again. Where would i start looking to develop for iphone? (any good web sites)
