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!

Not to confuse you, but you should probably be looking at the Sony 300, which should be out shortly (based upon more information that is now being given to the media).

The 300 has a 5-inch screen, the same as the Opus.
