Hi mgmueller,
I don't know if you've viewed your own photos, but they have a very bluish cast to them. Possibly white balance, or an auto white balance on your camera that's less than stellar? In post 6, you set the readers on white paper, so it should have come out white... BTW, thank you for the photos and your ongoing comparison of different units! |

For PDFs, the "intelligent" zoom of Sony 900 (just exploding whatever area of the screen to full screen) comes in handy. But it's only working for a single page, which doesn't help for cropping margins or issues like that. So, for the moment, I really have to say: iRex iLiad seems to remain the undefeated champion for PDFs. Last edited by mgmueller; 01-21-2010 at 10:23 AM. |

It's working flawlessly for my old files (bought from fictionwise, if I remember correctly). But I couldn't make it work for the .pdb I've bought 2 hours ago as a test from B&N. Both protected by credit card, but different ones. But still: Very nice, as long as I'm waiting for my Nook (will arrive in about 1 week). EDIT: The new .pdb I've bought this morning from B&N is working as well. Simple password issue. Last edited by mgmueller; 01-21-2010 at 03:40 PM. |

First pictures with a size and thickness comparison between my Readers (from left to right): Iliad, DR800S, Sony PRS-300.
The DR800S is actually quite thin, as thin as the PRS-300! Last edited by DeReader; 01-21-2010 at 11:09 AM. |

Certainly interested in your battery life experiences over the next few days, how stable you find the device and how well the suspend function works. |

Any sign of a SIM slot? Anybody willing to pull it apart to see if a Wifi card could be put in.
It looks like a very good device but I would like Wifi so I could access some safari books. Hmm this or wait till there is an 8'' boox. |

I did a comparison of a PDF-file on the Iliad (zoomed) and the DR800S, as additional bonus the page from the original book is also on the first picture.
The text is still readable on the DR800S, but beeing only a software issue it is really sad they left the zooming feature out. On the next picture I reflowed the PDF, but then there's only text without the diagram. The DR800S is a lot faster in turning pages of the PDF than the Iliad. |
