Hi. I just received my new 902 courtesy of Waldemar, and after a few hours of playing I am quite happy with the device. I am using the latest (2.0.3) EURO firmware, installing it was the very first thing I did. I have a couple of questions:

1) According to other people in this thread there should be an additional pdf reader, pdfviewer, but I don't see any choice of reader: all my pdfs are opened with what looks to me like the same application, and I don't even know how to tell which one it is. I have copied the extensions.cfg file (as per the instructions in other thread) and played with it, changing the order of the pdf readers, but it doesn' seem to make any difference. How do you guys know which application is opening your PDFs? Context menus don't give me any choice of program to open them, either. It is as if I only had one reader installed.

2) Where is the web browser?? Under "Applications" I can only find a "games" folder. I have been able to open a browser going to bookland, but how do I open it if I want -for example- to start with a blank page? Isn't there a shortcut somewhere?

Thanks in advance!!
