Can anyone comment on it's ability on reading pdfs please?

I'm not too much into the whole videos thing, and would like to do some basic reading/catching up on some work documents etc during journeys.

The review for the Archos 604 on http://www.pocket-lint.com/reviews/r...ayer-pvr.phtml
sounds alright, but that's from a while ago and i want to know from real users if there are any known issues etc.
a) What would you say about this? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...:X:AAQ:US:1123
<100$ in all.

What is it like? Can it read 30-40mb pdfs without lag/crashing? Is it better than the itouch (battery time, durability etc)? if not, should i go for a 1st gen itouch - can it do the job?

itouch (what i heard/think):
- battery time
- too much stuff i don't need

archos (what i liked):
+ voice recorder
+ 30 gb

I did a basic search and couldn't find much on the Archos so posting a new thread, please move or merge as necessary if this has already been covered/addressed

. Thank you!
