I will be picking one up. Thanks for the recommendation. BTW, I also posted this on another thread that I thought was this one. Pardon the duplication.

Well, to continue my review:

One of the reasons I wanted a reader is my addition to RSS feeds. I downloaded two of my favorites this morning through Calibre and uploaded them to the 900. I have to say that the formatting and display are terrific and it's almost like reading my own custom magazine.

I also flipped through the trial NY Times subscription. The Sunday edition was ready and waiting for me when I woke up this morning. I am impressed by the look and feel and I do not really miss the messiness of the paper itself. Also, I think it's really saving some trees.

Finally, I am about to go on a business trip so I uploaded one of my PDFs I expect to be marking up on the plane. I was able to mark it up with the stylus. My question is whether or not it saved the markup and whether or not I will be able to save the marked up document to my notebook so I can print it or e-mail it to my colleague.

So far, the only thing that it making me want to return the 900 is the screen. I will get a book light at the airport and see if it ameliorates the situation. If not, I will be back to researching something that meets my requirements. The 900 meets all of them so far, except for the screen.

By the way, does anyone use the Reader Library app or do you only use Calibre. I am trying to figure out why I would use the Sony software.
