I have heard nice things about the Sony 650, but after that, they dropped RTF and TXT support; the T1 and later may not have as much functionality as the earlier versions.

Warning: absolutely none of the e-ink readers are actually *good* with PDFs, and the only reason the DX is tolerable is that it's got a larger screen. If you have a lot of PDFs to read, you may be better getting PDF editing software that chops up the pages into multiples rather than trying to find a reader that deals well with letter- or even TPB-sized pages.

That said, the Kobo e-ink readers have a zoom that works better than the Sony zoom. And the 6" ones like the Glo may be less glitchy than the mini.

(My recommendation for the ADE book you bought is to get the unauthorized Calibre plugin that cracks the DRM and load it onto your reader that way.)
