Sony PRS-300 and PRS-600 should be out shortly.
PDF support on the Opus isn't great. But then - PDFs on any 6" or 5" screen isn't going to be great. If you need to read a lot of letter/A4 size PDFs, neither one is really suitable for you.
More large-size eInk readers should be arriving in the next six months or so.
Perhaps your best option is to wait?

After much thought and reading, I have reduced my choice to two:
Sony505 - around $380 total
Cybook Opus - around $325 total
My use:
1)Reading pdf file! This is a must. I have an entire collection of school work in pdf files. 70% of my work will be reading pdf files. The rest will be reading .txt or .doc (my own text) which, you guess, I can convert to pdf.
2)Small, lightweight, easy to use.
3)As many advanced functions - highlighting if possible, adding notes (dont think that's possible hehe)
I have read A LOT and I am tied, undecided between the two. These seems to be the best (without counting Kindle 2 but that's not an option here).
I remind I am in canada, so no kindle wi-fi for me.
Thank you for any help!
An avid reader.
