Forkosigan, where can I buy the Pocketbook ? Haven't seen it on Amazon.
pilotbob thanks for the exaplanation, I think I know what reflow means now, I have Good Reader on my Ipod touch and it just reads all the text from the PDF and lays it out on the screen while auto fitting font size and page layout.... It's good enough for me, I just need something bigger than that 3.5" screen.

Can the PRS-505 reflow ?
The larger screen devices like the kindle DX are overpriced at the moment...

2. Must have a fast CPU/RAM, it needs to respond without lags.

3. Must have alot of space of the option to expand it with alot of space. I would like to buy a 16/32gb SD card and put it in there if possible.

4. Probably the most important - It needs to have SUPERB BUILD QUALITY ! ! !
I will gladly take the lesser high-tech device if it's sturdy, quality, and has no flimsy parts in it - I can't stand chinese electronics.

5. big bonus - I'd like to highlight or add notes while I read if that's possible- not critical.
The PRS-505 fails on reqts. 2 & 5: it's slow and can't annotate.

The PRS-600 fails on PDFs (IMHO) and has a dimmer screen.

Both succeed on reqt. 4, excellent build quality (with the attendant warning on fragility by lilac_jive).
