Have been reading these forums for the past week or so & have found it very useful - thanks everyone. Now am close to getting myself a reader. Have seen only the Sony reader, hoping to get look at the other two this week.

My question is this :
I need the reader to be able to handle pdf & rss. (in addition to the regular mobi & ebook formats that you buy online) The recommendation in most threads is to go for the Iliad - but I can't afford it. So I am fine with having to make some compromises.(zoom, userfonts) and can manage the conversions using the tools (calibre etc.,)
What would you guys recommend - the RSS capability is slightly more important than PDF. All three come in the same price bracket these days (£176 - £199- £207) Thanks in advance.
