What is supposed to be new for PDFs is "fit to screen", i.e. autocropping of margins. This is something that has been long requested on the Sonys (it was apparently available on the PRS-505 before the switch to Adobe software for PDFs). Is this noticeably better than, say, on a PRS-600?

Has the ePub reader been upgraded? For example, does it allow full justification?
I had the chance to play with the 900 today at the local SonyStyle shop.

The ePub has definitely been updated. It does support full justification if the CSS says to be in full justification. Also, the tiny page number at the right side has been removed. Also, you can remove the margins to zoom in. That's nice. And the landscape two-page mode is nice.

On my 505, I get 32 lines per page where on the 900, the same page would be 38 lines. The speed is nice. And it has 16-shades.
