The Neo has better PDF handling than the Sony, but obviously the DR800, with its 8" screen, will be significantly better for large-page PDFs.

I`m not too bothered about writting notes, highlighting words etc so does it still come out on top over the sony 600. A lot of people have complained about the Sony`s glare in sun light ? |

You'd be best off asking on the iRex forum about the DR800 - I've not used it myself - but the Neo does, I think, have the best PDF support of any 6" device. Yes, it reflows, and remembers the zoom level between pages. The Sony resets the zoom at the start of each page, which is a real pain.

Not that I've heard, no. There is, however, a 9.7" model due out later this year.

The next firmware version will apparently be able to read DOC files. There was a licensing issue which prevented it from being in the current firmware.
