Oh also I mainly read PDF files; just to state because the wiki says PDFs don't work well with portable devices ...
I've looked at the Sony 505, Cybook and the BeBook...
Anyone got any other suggestions or any comments, pros, cons about the ones I've chosen?

I do have to say that none of the 6" eink devices will give a satisfying PDF reading experience when dealing with letter sized PDF. And while the Kindle DX has a nice larger 9.7" screen, it's PDF software is seriously lacking, Enough so to say to wait. There is a rumor of a larger screen Sony coming out in August. But if this is true and it's not August, then I'd suspect October. But for PDF, my suggestion is to wait. What we have now in larger screens is either lackluster (Amazon DX) or too expensive (iRex DR).
