Hi everyone, i'm new to this forum,

I have some doubts in relation to the Eslick and Sony 505.

I intend to buy my first ebook reader soon...since there are only acceptable prices for 6'' e-ink screens i will go most likely for the eslick or sony 505.

What i really want is to be able to read well in landscape mode(with the white margins cropped) - and since most of my documents and books are in .pdf - Eslick seems to have the edge over the Sony 505.

I never had an ebook reader in my hand (they are not available in my country - Portugal) i find them very small - but i suppose if i use landscape mode it would be like reading from the pages of a paperback? Right?

I hope Eslick reader would allow me to read A4 magazine .pdf documents(like PcMagazine) with no problems...something that the prs 505 seems to incapable of doing...i'm i right in this?

I would be nce to beable to see a picture of an open paperback near the landscape mode of a 6'' ebook reader.

The Sony 700 is out my buying of intentions because the is not enough contrast in the screen - which is a shame...since it supports .pfd's better than the 505.

Any comments would be wecome...thank you.
