mgmueller - would you be able to give us some insights into the reading world of the Samsung? How does it handle specifically the technical pdf? Thanks.

So far, I haven't found an acceptable solution for technical documents on my Android units.
"Goodreader" on iPad seems better than what I've found for Android.
But even "Goodreader" doesn't stand a chance to my favorites for technical documents/complex PDFs: iRex 800, iRex 1000S or even BeBook Neo.
All of them touchscreen units. All of them offering various zoom levels (I'm not using "reflow" for technical documents, as I don't want to "kill" graphs, formulas and the likes), i. e. zoom to width, zoom to height, fit page...
Or you even can mark the area of interest with your stylus and explode to full screen.
Theoretically, this can be done with various PDF readers on iPad or Android as well. But somehow they all fail...
So far, some of the dedicated ePaper units win hands down against the multi-purpose tablets...
