Greetings.

Perhaps a kind owner of a Sony PRS-T1 ereader will be nice enough to answer a few pre-purchase questions?

1. My Aluratek 7” Libre Color ebook reader (and multimedia center ;-) officially supports (full sized) SD cards up to 32GB, but its poor navigation system and its propensity to repeatedly and extremely slowly scan the card for books makes storing large libraries unworkable. How about the PRS-T1?
2. All of my +8GB of ebooks are in DRM free format; most are scanned-book PDFs (e.g., Google [PDF] Books). Can the PRS-T1 effectively view these sorts of PDFs (in addition to “ordinary” PDFs)? Can it fit to margins, scroll vertically from page to page while keeping its horizontal position, zoom as needed rather than in fixed increments, etc. efficiently enough to make reading a long scientific reference book efficient and practical?
3. Can I transfer books either way, as well as avail myself of the notes (I understand) it will allow me to make without having to install extra software on my computer?
4. Anything else I should know?

Thanks in advance!
