I haven't had experience of it myself, but I've read some reviews where the tester had trouble getting it to format and display some free txt books (via Gutenberg), and after playing with it, I don't know how it could handle normal full page PDF's formatted for print on standard 8.5/11 paper (or formatted with two columns). For example, how would the reader do displaying
this manual?
I love the eInk technology... but wonder only at the Sony reader's screen size, words per page, and resolution.
Thanks,
