I agree that PDF support is unbelievably good on the 700 as opposed to any "small" device out there.

I have not read math books in a while so cannot comment on how technical books work so far at least, but I receive pdf arcs from authors/publishers and until now I had to extract text, process it, and even then sometimes the results were less than satisfactory so I would go more for print arcs than insisting on pdf's which would be more convenient for everyone.

But now with the 700 I am finally reading the pdf 's directly, just put them onto it from my pc, no preprocessing necessary and if the zoom does not reflow the text nicely - some do, some don't - horizontal half-page reading works nicely.

But that was a quite unexpected bonus for me
