Would Sony prs 600 be a good buy?

I've been consdering getting an ebook reader and was wondering whether getting the sony 600 would be a good decision.

I'm not too concerned about the online store, I figure that I can generally get what I want from any ebook maker. But I am interested in Sony's deal with libraries. That would be something I would definitely use. Can I check out books online to read on the 600? And what has your experience been checking out books?

I also want something with good support for pdfs. I looked at the irex and kindle, but I want to spend less than $400, so both of those companies are out. How well does reflow work? Is it usually successful? I'm also planning on reading some technical books (stuff that uses latex mainly, so I can easily convert it) and I was wondering how complex math formulas and math symbols looked on the ereader. And if pdf support is not great, how good is conversion software? I wouldn't mind poor pdf support if I could easily convert to a different format.

Thanks
