Hey folks,
First time poster here! I've been coming back every couple of months over the year just reading on the various ereader devices, ranging from the iRex, etc.
Anyhows, I have just received the DXG, and I must say.....electronic paper is...wow.
I did have a couple of questions though, since I can't seem to find this anywhere in the user guide. When viewing a PDF, and zooming into the PDF, say at 200%, how does one gradually move around the PDF? Whenever I use the joystick to move, it goes all the way to the edge. Isn't there some method to gradually move towards the edge?
I'm guessing the default is for the purposes of saving battery as e-ink battery is measured in page turns.
My second question is borne out of curiosity. Do e-ink screens have "hours" like LCD screens? For example, an LCD TV might have operating hours of up to 30000. I can't seem to find information on the internet as to how long e-ink screens will last.
And finally....are screen protectors necessary (if we assume that I can apply it perfectly)?
Thanks everyone! Reading academic journals (gotta plow through so many of them in a week) on this thing is awesome, except that it would great if the PDF navigation in zoom-in mode would be slower, etc.
