Which device is best for Adobe PDF Files

I've only used the Kindle, the iLiad and the two Sonys (old and newest). Those are what I can judge by. The new Sony is hands down the best device for PDFs UNLESS they are Scanned. The iLiad is the only one that has a reasonable zoom for reading these since they can't be reflowed. Unless I'm doing something wrong, the Sony allows for Zoom on just one page at a time and the zoom bar blocks the text. If you close the zoom bar or change pages, the text defaults back to the non-zoomed version. With that one exception, while both read PDF files, the new Sony is much easier I find, in terms of zooming. Skoobwoman
