eubalaena · 12-10-2009, 04:58 PM

I've been looking at getting an e-reader and based on a variety of options I've narrowed it down to either the Sony PRS-600 or the Pocketbook 301. My big issue is that most of what I want this for are reading technical journal articles. Think: PDF, mutiple columns, probably mixed multiple columns and single column text with diagrams thrown in.
Can any of the 6" e-readers handle that sort of thing and how?

I'm willing to muck with the files on my computer if that is necessary and I'm willing to do a bit of extra page turning/zooming but less of that is certainly better.

Secondly does anyone have general thoughts on comparison between the two?

Thanks
