Hi i'm considering either the sony prs-300 or the aluratek libre pro. Both are the same size i think.

Here are the cons and pros as I understand:

Sony

+more stylish
+e-ink can be viewed in sunlight
-e-ink pages take a while to appear

aluratek

+LCD display can more quickly display pages as compared to e-ink
+handles pdfs better than the sony
+can take an SD card.

I'll mostly be using pdf's, including some with graphs/pics.

Suggestions? I'm leaning toward the aluratek because of the sd card compatibility and supposed better pdf support, but if e-ink is really better in most situaitons i'll get the sony.
