I waited, I saw the iPad, and I bought a PRS-900. The proliferation of ePub DRM schemes is getting ugly so I'd rather stick with somebody supporting a "standard." And I don't really won't to go back to reading on an LCD after reading on eInk.

I love the 900. The screen isn't as good as my 505 but it's not bad. The interface is clearly better. And the wireless is very nice.

However, the 900 doesn't seem to be able to sync my lrx's (DRM'd old Sony format), the handful that Sony has not converted to ePub yet. This problem will eventually go away when the titles are converted but it's a problem right now for one of the titles I'm in the middle of.

I'm not too clear on what I've seen on this subject in other threads. I am using the Mac version of the Sony software and I'm under the impression that as long as I've updated from a previous version instead of doing a fresh install then lrx support is not a problem. True/False?
