DeadMan,

I would definitely appreciate it if you could provide additional details about the functions and menu items of the Next1; maybe even upload a copy of the User Manual (if you have it in electronic format). The NextBookUSA site doesn't seem to have it available for download.

I bought the Slick Reader last weekend and I'm debating about returning it. It sounds like the Next1 has a few advantages over the Slick: higher resolution screen, more font sizes (does it give you a choice of fonts?), auto-shutdown, etc. It's a shame it doesn't play videos, but that function doesn't seem to work at all on the Slick.

Does the Next1 make good use of the full screen when reading? The Slick tends to have larger margins than necessary, but it does a pretty good job formatting pages. What is your opinion of the readability of the screen at low backlight levels?

Last question (for now, anyway) - how does the image viewer handle pictures larger than the screen resolution? The Slick does a pretty poor job resizing pictures (lots of jagged edges, etc.); does the Next1 do any better?

Thanks for your help!

Regards,
Eric
