My Question though is will this show pictures? Not highly detailed ones, more like mathmatical formulae? Does it represent everything on the page or just the simple text, or does it show EVERYTHING that is within the ebook?

For instance, will it display this ok?



Thanks a lot
Note that you can format pdf files directly for the Sony Reader's screen size... if you have the original source of the file and the program that created it. Many academic pdf files were created from TeX source. If you can access that source, you can re-format for a "page" that is exactly the size of the reader's screen.

That approach would let you read the formulae without further zooming. Of course, it's no help for anything where you don't have original source.
