Thanks for the replies. Yeah, the reason I posted this was because my PDF's content page have links and that software actually allows me to click on those links to bring me to the appropriate pages. But my question is, does the physical readers (i.e. PRS-505 and PRS-700) allows me to do that too?

Furthermore, any bookmarks made in the PDF using Adobe Acrobat Professional can be opened in the software but what about in the physical reader itself? Does it have access to those bookmarks? And when you bookmark PDFs in the physical readers, does those get saved into the PDFs itself so that when you open using Adobe Acrobat, you can access those bookmarks too?

And if I am not mistaken, the PRS-700 can annotate and highlight PDFs but not the PRS-505? The software I am using is 2.5 which I believe is the latest version, hence it emulates the PRS-700? Is it safe to say whatever can be done in that software, the PRS-700 can do too (i.e. highlight and annotate, access to bookmarks within PDFs, supports links, etc)?

For the Kindle DX, the bookmarks made in the PDFs are not accessible and links are not supported. Also, bookmarks made in the DX itself does not affect the PDF document; it's stored seperately. And of course, if the PRS-700 can highlight and annotate PDFs, then -1 for the DX. Well, the only advantage of the DX is that its screen is larger as compared to both the 505 and 700; both the Sony readers only have 6 inch screen, correct me if I am wrong.

The initial question raised of whether there is a zoom mode has yet to be answered. Since both the Sony readers have only 6 inch screens, do both of them allows you a zoom mode where the user can pan around the zoomed PDF?

Thanks. Darn, makes me feel I should have gone with the Sony but again, the smaller screen might be a bigger problem than any lack of features.
