YES (Maybe)

With my Iliad sitting broken in the back of a cupboard and the new Digital reader doing nothing for me (I'm not paying 900Euros for something that is unlikely to last a year)

This is probably my next reader, an easy to carry size, cheap (see above...), searchable (have to check that applies to PDF files for work), touch screen (I just like the whole touch screen interface idea although the idea is rarely thought out particularly well) and best of all an inbuilt lighting system, great for reading company manuals in a dark cockpit

Just going to have to go and read the comments about Sony's software for the Reader, if it's as bad as their old Connect software for MP3/ATRAC players I may run rapidly in the opposite direction...
