I used the Kindle DX for Law Pdf's and I have tried the sony 900 - the Irex 1000 and the the sony 505 and 600.

The sony with the touch screens - The glare is a showstopper for me

Sony 505 great screen obviously a little small for pdf's

Irex 1000 good screen kinda chunky - super expensive and personally the capactive buttons make me mental

Kindle DX pdf's render well, no TOC (but you can search ocr'd pdf's), but thin and light and excellent battery life - plus A+ customer service and support coupled with a killer sized library (Amazon was the only one to have all of the Kapan PMBR ebooks available)

Ipad might work although battery life I fear will be an issue

Entourage Edge - dont really kow but to my eye it seems too chunky - I might as well carry a table pc laptop (IMHO)

The Irex 800 - no comment - although i have been less than thrilled with customer service from Irex Tech

For me I like going with a proven entity that gets the job done and thats why I use the kindle DX primarily for pdf's

I have a Bookeen Opus 5" screen for pleasure readig as it slips into my pocket
