Hi

Would like to buy a Sony Portable Reader. Before buying I have some doubt about its functions.
Living in Italy I could not find anywhere an eink reader, so I hope someone can answer me.

My question is: I have many ebook in PDF format. The ebooks are scans of regular books saved in PDF fomat (basically only an image of the pages). They are in various formats from A4 (similar to American Letter size) to smaller formats.

How does the Sony (or other machines) work with those PDF files?
Do you have the function zoom/pan ?
Will a scanned A4 page fit nicely?
If not, again, can you zoom to an acceptable level.

Thanks!
