While I would like to have a kindle as a back-up reader (I do own some books from the Kindle store and read them on my iPad), I have stuck with Sony and plan on getting the newest Sony reader as well. While I understand that many people don't have use for PDF reflow, I do, and it is one of the features that has kept me buying Sony readers. I most often read PDFs on my iPad, but knowing that I can transfer an article to my Sony reader and go know that I can read it on the go if I get some time is great (I don't generally keep my iPad with me in my purse). A small screen isn't the ideal venue to read a PDF, but it is nice to know that I can in a pinch. I read a ton of PDFs, so my needs probably aren't representative of most people's reading needs, though.
