So I went to the store today to check out the pocketbook 301 before buying it. I brought several files to try (CHM, DJVU, PDF). Everything worked great until I tried a 19.3MB PDF file of a scanned book. The PB301 displayed the cover page graphic well, but when I moved to the next page it didn't display anything - the page was blank. It didn't display any page except the first one.

Naturally, I didn't buy it...

Is this a known problem with the PB301? Any chance it was fixed by a recent firmware version (don't know what firmware they had at the store)?

...and should I avoid the 301 completely and just focus on the 302 which seems so much cooler with its wifi and all?

Thanks!
