    hi all... i want to buy an e reader. problem is most short stories i have in pdf form and most reviews of e readers say they have problems with these. i just want a simple e reader that can handle pdfs and being able to play music an extra bonus.. im not tech savy so the most basic the best. also my budget not very big.. thank so much

    The kindle can handle PDFs but it's not perfect. The text can be a little small/requires you to zoom in and out.

    If you read a lot of pdfs specially with illustrations, graphs etc. Kindle might not be for you. I have one, but now I know I should get Sony Reader which handles pdfs much better. I see on the Internet many people getting a third party software for Kindle called Duokan only to read pdfs.
    This comparison of Sony and Kindle exlpains the issue well:
