It's a joke, right?

Sony is using the Adobe SDK. Actually, they had Adobe develop the PDF and EPUB support for them.

Which "other devices" have more capabilities in Adobe formats (PDF, EPUB) than Sony Reader? Amazon's PDF support is a joke, and I am not sure which other eInk devices have search, notes, fast paging capabilities of the PRS-700. I can't think of any.

The PDF and EPUB support in the Sony Reader is not all great, but to the best of my knowledge it's better than that in any other eInk device.
