I have a Sony 505 which is perfect for me as I mainly read novels.

I want to get an e reader as a present for a friend, who needs one to read pdfs that include many diagrams, tables and are often in Arabic.
I tried out sample pdf files for him on my Sony, and the Arabic sections and diagrams were far to small to read even after zooming(seemed to have little or no effect.)

I am in the UK, and really would like some advice as to which e reader would be able to make both tables, diagrams and Arabic text large enough to be readable.I think it is between the Cybook or Ilead, but if another make would be better please let me know.
I want to ensure I get him the best one for the job.

Thanks.
