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?
That doesn't sound too good.
Do you have the latest FW installed ? I've heard they fixed a few issue just before the first shipment.
