I did receive it on tuesday, I'll be posting pictures later today.

It's a nice product and I'm very happy with its good PDF support, even though I've found a few issues so far. I'd be even more happy if they were resolved in the next firmware update.

- The g-sensor is not working for me. Even after calibrating it, it does nothing. When I turn the device sideways, the orientation won't change. I can do that manually though, via the "Rotate" icon in the menu.

- Note taking doesn't work. When I select "Note" in the menu, I can see the display flashing for a second but then no panel comes up. Or, if it comes up I can't see it.

- Reflowing PDFs with complex layouts blocks the device, even if it's just one page. I extracted page 23 from this newspaper and tried to reflow it. I can see content arranged differently but then the device becomes unresponsive. All the buttons stop working except the one for switching the thing off. I see an hourglass on the bottom left corner of the screen which won't go away for minutes, i.e. for the time I waited.

- I don't know if it's intended but, I can't rotate nor zoom when I'm browing the web using Midori.

- When I plug the usb cable in, the device starts recharging even though it's supposed to ask me whetever to recharge or mount the drive in Windows. When I plug it out and in again, the drive gets mounted. Still, I'm not asked what to do, though.

Has anyone else encountered these issues?
