Compatibility: I do not use Windows. Probably 80/20 Linux/Mac. I do not have regular access to a windows machine, and I am unwilling to install it anywhere, including a virtual machine.
Note function might be of use, I really won't know until I have the device, so its hard to base a decision on that.

The 700 has excellent PDF support - keeping in mind screen size of course. Fast and even if the pdf does not reflow well in font change, or is image based so it does not reflow period, the horizontal reading makes them generally readable.
The zoom works nicely too inside the pdf and is useful for images
The downside is that I heard that Linux/Mac support is not that good for the Sony line, so that may be a no-no
A tablet may be a better solution in that case...
