I absolutely love my Sony 900. It's one of the rare units, I enjoy holding in my hands all the times again and again.
BUT: In my opinion, its zoom capabilities are mediocre at best. In most "professional" PDFs you'll probably want to zoom in, instead of doing reflow, to keep the original layout intact (plus, reflow usually "kills" tables, formulas and other non-text-information). You can zoom on Sony 900 (and Sony 600 and 700), but it does remember the zoom only for the respective page. Very often, I find myself needing the very same zoom, for example "upper right quadrant" for a row of pages. On Sony 900, you have to set the zoom again for every single page. Other touchscreen readers are able to keep the zoom for a flow of pages or the entire document.
Zoom capabilities of Onyx Boox and iRex 800 are more or less identical to each other and far ahead of Sony 900.
Sony 900 is the most stylish of the 3 though, followed by iRex 800. Onyx Boox/BeBook Neo isn't ugly, but it's no eyecatcher either.
