thank you for the very informative review.
i have some questions if you kindly take time to answer:
1. since i have to read many articles from jstor i need to know whether it is possible to read footnotes in sony e-reader (T1) or not?
2. i need to know whether you can copy texts from a pdf/epub file and paste it somewhere (i would like to save myself from writing note cards for my research) or I have to type the text in another application (e.g. word)?
3. how compatible is the e-reader with pdf files regarding navigation, font size, page orientation, and readingin landscape mode?
i really appreciate your kindness for reading my questions and sharing the info or advising me on modifying my choice (with special regard to the available budget of $170)
thanks in advance
