Hi everybody,

I am thinking of using a work related grant to buy an e-reader. I'm not in the U.S., so the Kindle is out.

I currently have an order in for the Sony 700.

Here are my expected uses:

-fiction (mostly public domain, I can't stand the idea of paying for DRMed text)
-academic papers, with virtually no pictures/graphics, in pdf format

Any suggestions?

Also, is there a way to simulate what a document will look like on the Sony 700 using their reader software? I'd hate to install crapware just to find out that I can't.

thanks!
