Hi,

I have a PRS-505 which I use as my daily reader. It is great and I love it.

The drawback is that I can't view programming books that I own on PDF (quite a few of the APress titles).

This is due to the screen size. Now that the Kindle DX is available for the international market I was thinking of getting one just for my programming books.

Does anyone have one that they view programming books in PDF format on? If so, could you please let me know the following:

1) Do you get a whole screen per page?
2) Is it legible at a full screen per page if you can get that?
3) Do screenshots appear legible?
4) Can you read code blocks ok? Code blocks are normally a different font, maybe a lighter colour, or even black on a grey panel.

Thanks for any help on this people.
