Does anybody else is in the same situation as I? Can prs-600 handle this ? Or theres a better solution in the market for what I want?

2- I've uploaded an programming ebook that i usualy read, could someone put a picture of this ebook, of page 262 and 284? Just to see how tables, code snippets and images are shown in the prs-600.

The PDF ebook can be downloaded here:[link removed by moderator due to this being a commercial eBook]

3- I've read in some other thread, one user saying that, when he reached 80 anotations the prs-600 started to be realy slow, does anybody else confirms it?

4- Can I insert in the prs-600 other dictionarys? like a french dictionary for example?


Thanks for your time.
i have a 505 and had a 600 for a while - 600 will read pdf's natively and does a good job but the screen is small for technical docs and one of the reasons i returned mine - the ultimate pdf machine right now is probably the irex dr1000 but at a mind and wallet numbing price of almost $900 - I finally settled on the Kindle DX - and even though does not have a lot of PDf Features renders them very nicely at a decent size - if you want ill load up your doc take paictures and send them to you email me at david a spitzer (all one word) at gmail dot com

I am not sure if you live in the US but the kindle dx works well and if you can afford it the Irex dr1000 or perhaps the plastic logic reader to be released next year
