Sony Prs 600

Which e-book reader to buy. Sony prs-600 or Kindle DX?

I am looking to buy a e-reader soon and can't decide between the Sony Touch Daily edition or the Kindle DX. I like that you can browse and the text to speech on the dx but I also like that the 600 has a touch screen and library lending capabilities. Both are pretty close in price so that isn't a biggie, so which one?

I read PDF files most of which are technical in nature and/or with small font size. I had long waited for Kindle DX because it has native PDF support. Amazon has made such a good product with lots of bells and whistles but they did not pay attention to improving the PDF support.

What's wrong with the native PDF reader? It does not have the capability for text reflow (font size increasing) and zooming. Two very important features for PDF. Its may be bit difficult to implement the zooming because of lack of touch screen, but Amazon should come up with some way to do this.

I called Amazon's Kindle technical support group to know whether they have any plan to make the PDF support better. They have told me that they will going to open a ticket for this issue and will get back to me in a week. I was happy to know that they are concern about customer. But later they keep rescheduling it for several weeks and at the 29th day of my purchase I finally came to know that they will not going to implement the requested feature soon. So I was in rush to return it back to get the full refund (Return within 30 day cause full refund).

I now have Sony PRS-600. I have bought it two weeks back and I'm happy with it so far although it has smaller screen size than Kindle DX. But the features that I wanted (Text reflow and Zoom) are there.

For readers, who wants to read PDF documents, Kindle DX is simply not recommended.
