MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - PRS-600 Will the PRS-600 meet my pdf reading needs?

Looking to buy an e-reader and the 600 seems like it might be a good choice, as my primary reading materials will be in pdf form and I like the small, light form factor and don't really need wireless capability.

Would the 600 be good for the following?
1. pdf ebooks without many tables or charts (non-technical books)
2. pdfs that have been scanned using OCR?
3. pdfs that have been scanned as images? Does the zoom reset on each page turn make this non-feasible?
4. pdfs of articles printed from a web page - i.e., if I see a long article that I'd rather not read on my computer, I was thinking I could print it to pdf and read it on a reader. Or is this subject to the same limitations as an image pdf as in 3, above? Or I suppose another alternative is to copy the article's words, paste into a text editor and copy to the reader.

Out of curiosity, is there any software that allows you to copy blogposts over to a reader? That would be a great way to catch up on blogs without having to be at a computer.
