My main interest is in reading text books in pdf and converting my numourous word and excel files to pdf so that I can study wherever without lugging ll my notes and books with me.
I had almost made my mind up to buy the iliad (damn the expense) and sent them a few e mails to sort out a few questions I have. But the fact that no-one answered my e mails t'd me off a little and Then the news that Sony have introduced pdf reflow in their 505 shortly to be introduced into the UKmakes ,e think that maybe the sony is a valid option? Also the Sony has vizplex whereas the illiad does not mention this.

Either way I would like to see the machines in the flesh and touch them . This I can't do until the release of the 505 in Sept. In the meantime I can travel to cambridge and check out the iliad now.

Thanks
