Just a quick video review of the Sony Reader PRS-505. Sadly the camera cut off the last minute or so, but it was just a quick summary so it’s not a big loss. And yes, I know it’s SDHC (for SD High Capacity) rather than SHDC. Just a brain slip.

    I’ve tried some dev books on the Reader, and it manages pretty well. The text on an A4 page is a bit small to read comfortably (the device will display it though), but it does retain layout, images etc. If you have the option to reformat the PDF as A5, you’ll fare a lot better.

    Some of the prog book publishers have Reader-specific versions (like Pragmatic), and they look great. If you’re looking for a device for A4 PDFs, the Reader isn’t really for you – try an Iliad or ideally a Kindle DX.

    I mainly buy programming books as PDFs. Have you tested the PDF rendering? Does it retain layout and images? How’s the resolution? Can the screen show a single A4/Letter PDF page on the screen?
