Re: Does one have to get a big expensive eReader to read PDFs decently?

Thanks again for the responses. Frabjous, I'll take you up on your offer. I'm curious to see what a Sony 505 experience reading the kind of documents I read is like. I'm attaching a zip file with some samples. I haven't included any with big graphics as I suppose that might be a problem. I would be happy if I could read well pages like the ones I sent you.

Thanks for the info on the Entourage Edge. I'll certainly look into it as the combination between e-ink and normal screens has a lot of potential. I've read some information on the specs of the device and I find it a little too heavy. On the other hand it has a lot of interesting possibilities a simple e-ink reader doesn't have.

As for reading on a PDA, I'm sorry, I've been there, I've done that and I cannot take it any more. I still use my PDA for casual reading of newspaper articles and even some fiction. As I said, I want to get away from LCD screens and even further away from small LCD screens.
