Plus, pdf are virtually unreadable on it (but with Sony you can reflow, at least).
You know what Sony can do: go for it!
Reading pdfs on a 5" device is going to require some sort of conversion anyway, so you could just as easily reformat outside of the reader. Either way it will still be far from satisfactory. The presence of reflow on the Sony wouldn't change my reasoning, though of course it may be a consideration for StanByk.

With the latest firmware on the Elonex I can now use the text-links on the table of contents in an ePub to jump to chapters, which is the main consideration for reading fiction or magazines.
