Isn't the bigger screen a significant advantage? I think reflowing academic documents which have graphs and formulas and 2 columns usually messes them up. So, I'm thinking of buying a ebook reader soon (I'm in Finland right now) and the main requirement would be that it should display well academic documents and textbooks. Between Sony 900 and DR800, which one would you recommend? (I need something with a big screen, Que, Pocketbook, Skiff or Edge are too far away, timewise) Can you put some photos with the same document I sent you on both devices? What are your impressions on that? (Sorry for so many questions, I hope I'm not bothering you).
