Greetings,

I've been wishing to buy an ebook reader from a LONG time. Being in Canada, the Kindle 2 wasn't a natural option from me.

After much thought and reading, I have reduced my choice to two:

Sony505 - around $380 total
Cybook Opus - around $325 total

My use:

1)Reading pdf file! This is a must. I have an entire collection of school work in pdf files. 70% of my work will be reading pdf files. The rest will be reading .txt or .doc (my own text) which, you guess, I can convert to pdf.
2)Small, lightweight, easy to use.
3)As many advanced functions - highlighting if possible, adding notes (dont think that's possible hehe)

I have read A LOT and I am tied, undecided between the two. These seems to be the best (without counting Kindle 2 but that's not an option here).

I remind I am in canada, so no kindle wi-fi for me.

Thank you for any help!
An avid reader.
