I just bought the Sony PRS-600 and had to return it due to the horrible contrast on the screen related to the touch screen. I kept shying away from the kindle due to the closed format and no way of expanding the storage. I am very interested in getting the Kindle DX for pdf viewing. I have a lot of technical books for work. I was about to place an order over the weekend until I found out that the pdf support is lacking a lot of most used features. For example no TOC or link support. How can a device this expensive not support these features. I hope amazon is hard at work in getting these basic features supported on their device.

For now I am using the older Sony prs-505 for reading my pdf's. Yes, screen is small and it is not the most comfortable viewing experience of reading tech. pdf's. I am looking forward to seeing what 2010 CES will bring us for ebook readers. The Kindle DX is still on my list, but I will not take it seriously until some basic pdf features are added to the device.
