Hello,

today I got my new PRS-650 and I'm overall very happy with it.

But there are two things, that kind of bothering me.

First, why is it, that you can't hide the statusbar? I mean, I really don't need it everytime and it is just taking up space when I'm reading.

Well, I admit that this is a somewhat minor problem, but what is really annoying me is that when you are in landscape mode and you switch on the same page from the top to the bottom, that you always have a few lines of overlapping text. I'm new to that and maybe someone can enlighten me, if there is a way to get used to that but for me it's making the landscape mode with PDFs totally unusable, which I intended to use a lot, since I don't like to transform all my PDFs with little text-size.

Is there something like a hack to avoid that?

I read that with the older models you would have the recurring text dimmed. Is that possible with the newer models too?

Regards

p.s. I also found that with some PDFs the dictionary isn't working. Does somebody know why that ist? Is that intended?
