However, I believe the Sony Reader has better PDF support and if you can get your PDF properly formatted for its screen, it would certainly look better than what Amazon could probably do.

See the thread above for screenshots of PDFs on the Kindle, kindly provided by Gideon.
I look forward to hearing your review of it! soPDF reformats pdfs for the Sony Reader. I will need to get a virtual windows machine running and give it a go. I am definitely tending towards the PRS-505. It's now a question of how on earth to get one to me here in New Zealand!
