That looks great. Much better than I was fearing.

So the only nagging thing I'd like to know about regarding that full screen mode is how seamless / automated it is. Right now, I'm still not quite getting it. I grasp the theory that you could take a PDF page, eliminate the needless borders, and use the 768x1024 display to show what remains. But is this something that needs to be finetuned on a case by case basis? Would that be up to the user or the software? What I mean is.. every time I load up an A4 document, would I have to zoom in a few pixels at a time until it looked good (or, dare I dread, for every _page_?), or are there built-in settings which automate this process? Or, better still, can the iLiad software automatically detect the presence of superfluous text-free borders and truncate them, eliminating the need for the user to perform anything so painstakingly hands-on?

The casual user in me feels that since the Adobe PDF is such a ubiquitous file format, it should be a given that methods for handling said format should be maximally enabling. But the cynic in me wants to ask questions about it before making a rather big purchase. I'm grateful that there are people willing to help. Thanks!
