I'm looking for something roughly pocket size, that can read PDFs decently. I'm not going to be looking at full color photos and not many charts, mostly text. PDFs themselves are mostly text based, as for scans, I guess least-worst is all I can ask for based on response to the last person who asked about that. 3G isn't a concern, I'm mostly reading stuff from feedbooks/guttenberg/etc. Audio would be nice, but not necessary, Web browser and video playback not needed. Hoping to stay under $150. Been looking at stuff like the Sony pocket, but don't know how they all compare.

Then what's the least worst and how bad is it?

My advice would be to convert the book to Mobi/ePub via calibre, but i just tried it and it doesn't work too well on the Kindle 3. Right, in absence of an amazing option, I just want the best/least worst one.

Okay so if I use calibre to convert pdfs, what relatively small ereader that's <150$? The Kindle wifi? Sony pocket reader? Expandable storage sounds nice but I don't know if I need it.

vyst posted:I'm trying to decide on an e-reader but I'm on the fence between the Kindle Wi-Fi and the Nook Color. I'd be doing some fiction/non fiction reading from "normal books" but my main focus is a way to carry my PDF library of MS Press books with me so I can study for my technical exams. The books come with digital PDF copies when you buy them so I know they have to be pretty well done (they are also in black and white). I've read that the new Sony PRS x50 readers handle PDFs better than most other e-ink readers of similar size.
