Ok thats fine.

but there's no way to manually zoom in on scanned PDF.
Do you know this for a fact?

If you're just doing this to get rid of the margins, you'd need to trim them before loading it onto the reader. It always keeps the same zoom when switching pages, as far as I know.
I can do that, its not a dealbraker, and those scans already have pretty small margins.


So the PRS600 would probably be ok, even though im not sure if i want a touchscreen. Pressing a button to page forward seems more comfortable to me but im gonna have to try it out.
I dont see any alternatives though. All the other 6" readers have much older hardware and nothing like the 530MHz and 128MB RAM of the sony. Also many of them are not that popular so i would buy a cat in the sack regarding my pdf-needs.

I am very positive though because today i have seen a e-ink screen with my own eyes for the first time.

Thanks for your reply!
