yet another PDF reader thread

Hey all - been reading anonymously for a few weeks, and thank you all for all the information you have put out there in other posts. I'm in this subforum, so clearly my question is "Which one should I buy?" On the back of your recs to other people, I'm coming to believe that the Sony 950 or T1 is my best bet, but want to run my situation by you, so I can get your educated opinions directly, as opposed to assuming.

Two things really matter to me:
1. Ability to run PDFs with graphics: I plan to use my ereader mainly to read work PDFs; I work in finance, so these tend to have charts, etc attached, and are rarely text only. Reflow is a plus, but clearly wont be used 80% of the time due to the charts and images.

2. Ability to zoom: My docs are almost always formatted for use on A4 sized paper, so the reader needs to work well with that size.

Beyond that, I would love the ability to email docs to myself (ala kindle, but its crap with PDFs and zooming, I gather). I also prefer something that I can comfortably hold in one hand.

I'm currently leaning towards the T1 due to price (its less than half the cost of a 950 currently), and ability to pinch zoom.

What are your takes; is there a better ebook reader than the 2 I mentioned for PDFs (not tablets - I own an iPad and hate reading anything longer than 1 page on it; the screen feels wrong to read, and its too heavy for one handed operation). Should I strongly consider the 950 despite its lack of pinch zoom and higher cost?

Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks all!
