Hi, I had been waiting for 901 for months, now I'm very happy to see videos and pictures of 902/903.
I don't own a reader, at first I looked to Kindle DX, but I didn't buy it for its weak support to PDF files.

The first thing that I notice about new devices is that they have very few (real) buttons.

I'm sure they are OK for "normal" book reading, but I'm quite dubious about technical books reading (PDF manuals/datasheets).
What I need is to quickly jump to "Table of contents", jump to a specific page number (writing the exact number), follow a link to another page....

Is it possible to do these things in a fast way?

If 902 can't be so fast.. do 903 meet my requirements with the aid of touch screen?

Just some example:
is it possible to compose a page number using a numeric keypad that appears "on the fly"?
is it possible to divide the screen with a clickable TOC on the left and the selected page on the right?

Thank you!

PS: do you know if the touch screen layer on 903 worse the screen reading quality?
