What I need in the device.
Dictionary - A dictionary is a must.
PDF support - I will be reading pdfs mostly
Reliability - Like I said im in Pakistan ... so I need something that won't break down on me after a month since getting it back to the US willbe costly.
Price - $160 to $250

Does the Sony support a dictionary within your pdf files? (These are text based pdfs, not image files, right?) If so, that seems a deal maker to me. But the Sony doesn't actually come with a dictionary, does it? That's a great function on the Kindle 2 ... but it doesn't work within pdfs. The Kindle 2 is $259 delivered in the US; you're friend will be schlepping it to PK, that's pretty close to your price range. And the screen is bigger than the Sony PRS 300 series.
