Hi guys, I'm new around here so don't mind me if I sound silly. (: I have a little Astak Pocket Pro which I love to bits, but being a 5" screen is somewhat small in my opinion - especially since I tend to use my eReader more when I'm at home.

So I was wondering what are your opinions on the Sony PRS-505? Would it be similar to the Pocket Pro in terms of readability, just in a larger form? Also, what would be the best format to use on a 505 as my books are mostly in ePub formats.

Of course I do welcome other suggestions, my requirements for a eBook reader would be:
- 6"
- Displays ePub and PDF well
- Prefers small fonts (more words on a page as I like my reader to resemble a book as close as possible)
- Decent price
- Non touchscreen

Oh and since I'm residing in Australia, availability of the reader is an important deciding factor. I wouldn't want to fall in love with a reader only to find out that it's available only in the US. (:

Cheers.
