i owned a sony prs505 and sold it after a month of trying to justify my wise decision. 6" screens are junk. i read quite fast and can eat 5 to 10 books on a nice day off. not a true speed reader but too fast to be scrolling around a page. especially real pdf files. i have a lifetime of reading ahead a me downloaded from torrent sites. stuff that doenst come from book stores, librarys or popular authors.
maybe a dx or 1000s? im not getting satisifying reviews from either.
i glad you guys are satisfied with your devices and are saving trees. keep come back to these forums and validating your decisions with each other. ill have to wait.

With respect, not only is this a rant, but it is a rather unreasonable one. For the most part, ebook readers have been designed to 1. read novels and other essentially text based books, 2. read books that are in formats that are designed to reflow to fit the screen of the reader (whether it be a dedicated reader or a computer).
You are reading books from torrents which (besides their questionable legal status) are not formatted with ebook readers in mind. Essentially it would be akin to complaining because your new DVD player doesn't play 8-Track cassette tapes.
