The PRS 900 has a Zoom function in addition to the stated fonts. Their Medium Font is larger than the Large Font on the PRS 505. I read my books mainly with the Sony Desktop Reader 3.1 on my PC with occasional use of my PRS 900 when away from home.

One caution, I used that Zoom button with some PDF files but after using it I found it was hard to center the PDF page. Thus, I stopped reading PDF files with it. I read them on my PC with Adobe Reader which is far more suited to PDF's than is the Sony PRS 900.

I just called Best Buy for an update on my order which I placed on December 27. The window for me is now January 12-22. He confirmed that orders are fulfilled in the order in which they were placed.

Anyone else hear any news from Best Buy?

I hate to disappoint you, but the screen is not wider. It's actually slightly slimmer than previous models. It is longer.

I already addressed this. I was referring to it in landscape mode. Please try to keep up

I ordered mine on the 30th. I just called them and got a new range of the 14th to the 29th, which is a few days better than the original range (18th to the 2nd of Feb.) I received. Here's hoping it is more like the 12th that you got!!

When you get it, let us know how you like it.

I sure will, I'll even wait until I get over the euphoria of actually receiving it in order to be less biased

Was this from the Sony style store, or best buy?

My 29th order from BB is still InProcess.

Mine from BB on the 30th still says the same "In Process" on one page and on back order on the other. I'm hoping it will ship on the 14th, that is the earliest date they gave me so perhaps I'm being a bit optimistic

Ditto! Still hopeful that it'll get shipped by the end of this week.
