First of all, thanks for having me on the forum, it's a great source of info.

I am still not sure which device to buy.
I am between the Sony PRS-505 and the iRex iLiad.

The use I was considering is mainly for reading fiction. That is, free classics and the occasional ripped book in .pdf form (text-based and scanned). So connectivity is not a concern. I plan on doing that through my PC. Also, I really don't mind using a converter before I transfer the files.

I would really like the iLiad's big screen but the price is a bit steep. Since we're talking about greyscale I can't really use it for comics (cbr, cbz) which would necessitate a big screen.

I think I will go with the SONY and maybe in a couple of years devices with specs like the iLiad will be more affordable by then.

Do you think this is the right choice for me?
