Many thanks bbusybookworm for the quick reply,
I just googled into the forum, and I'm glad I've joined - its seems a friendly place
Your quick breakdown has shown me the way to go, despite having been more in favour of the Cybook - the fact it can't reflow is unfortunate. My Palm T3 has this and it made Pdf's much easier to read.
So I will be choosing the Sony based on the extra sturdiness (whilst I treat my gadgets with respect - I do feel that they need to be able to survive the odd impact) and its ability to reflow pdf's.
It's almost a shame really because I do really like the Cybook due to its lightness, Html, and dictionary - in fact I would forgo the sturdiness factor if It displayed Pdf's better. Does the reflow work well on the sony or does the pdf reading on both suck so that I'm never going to use it?.....
thanks
