I have a number of RPG rulebooks that I've purchased in PDF and I would love to read them on my Reader, but the screen's too small.
By going to the stretched form-factor on the screen, Sony killed most of my interest in the 900. The only reason I would have for buying a new device along with my current 505 would be for large-size PDF support - and the 900 won't let me put a large-size page on a single screen and still be legible. Sony managed the impossible - designing a device with a bigger screen that doesn't provide the benefits of a bigger screen.

Holy ships! Why can't the Sony 900 do large pdfs? That was the only reason it was on my radar big time! Irex seems a little lacking.
I wish there was more info on the Onyx Boox 8" model. That and the Netronix EB900.
