Alright. Excellent.

The Sonys do read PDFs natively and think the 700 is supposed to be better than the 505. Is anyone making samples from either the 505 or 700 for you? You might be able to take an SD card with your PDF samples to a Borders or Target store to see how they work in person (I have read some people have been able to do this depending on the store).

Well, I've read a lot of complaints that the Sony 700's screen isn't very clear and it glares easily. Some reviewers actually recommend the 505
over the 700. That's why I was considering the Kindle 2 - also since the Kindle 2 has some other attractive features (wireless, dictionary, wikipedia, etc.) that the 700 lacks. My local borders has a 700 on display, but it's locked in place so you can't really see how angles affect how the screen looks.
I've never thought about how PDFs display on it since I assumed they would look good as the 700 natively supports PDF. I might take an SD card in and see how some PDF books look on it.

K2 just upgraded so that it has RTF support but it's a format I never use, so I haven't had to convert it.

Are you sure about that? When I checked, it looked like the Kindle 2 only supported RTF through conversion. If it does, that'd be great, since I could just paste word and HTML documents into RTF and upload them that way. That'd be fine, I think.
Also, there's an email service where you send PDF files and it converts them to word documents. You could then save the word document as RTF. That might turn out better than converting the PDF to Kindle 2 format.

You know you can buy a Kindle 2 and run it through it's paces for 30 days or less and get your back if it doesn't work for you.

Oh, that's great! I'll probably buy it then and if it doesn't work out, I know the Sony is waiting for me.
