The Sony's will read books from the Sony store and also DRM'd ePubs and PDFs from stores like Books On Boards. It will also read ePubs and PDFs without DRM. PDFs generally don't look as nice as ePub or Sony's LRF/LRX format unless they were formatted for a smaller screen.

Another question that is very common, which is the better Sony reader, the one with 6inch screen or the pocket version with 5inch screen?

The answer is, it depends. A lot of folks feel the recently discontinued PRS-505, now found on clearance some places, is the best. The Pocket Edition (PRS-300) is very similar to the 505 except the screen is a bit smaller and it doesn't accept memory cards (it does have more built in memory though). You'll find lots of opinions on the Touch Edition (6" touch screen), PRS-600, here on the forum. Some don't like it and others love it.
If you don't need a touch screen, note capability or dictionary I'd probably look at the 505 or 300. If you do then the 600 might be right for you.
