I have purchased sony prs 505 from my local target store three days ago but yet to open it, I already own a amazon kindle for few months ( basically it is a dud). I am in academics and read lot of pdf. doc and txt files on a fairely regular basis, some of them are text but some have graphics and text. few of my textbooks are pdf. I purchased kindle in a hope to read pdf but no use, I don't use their wireless and don't even buy any books from them so it is a useless to me.

I read from this forum that sony has new frimware with pdf reflow ( I have not opened mine so dont know what firmware I have). I have also read sony's instruction on how to create optimized pdf for sony reader 505, so I am thinking to convert my all pdf to sony optimized version and than read on sony 505, so I want to know how is the support for this reflow pdf feature working now than before the reflow.

I also want to know if can transfer my books to sony 505 (not on sd card) without sony connect software, I am not interested in their store either.

can I delete a book from sony without their software?

How is the sony contrast as compared to kindle?

Any help is appreciated.
