Google has problems in translate my Spanish because I write some kind of literary Spanish (or cult Spanish). I do not use the traditional and repetitive construction of subject, verb and predicate (with adverb, direct complement, indirect one and so). I should omit a lot of subjects and complements, use subjunctives, and it seems on-line translators are not capable to deal with.

In relation to screen, apart for the fact that is e-ink with all its limitations, it seems like a great quality for sharpness and frame rate when the firmware comes with it.

For example, some web pages have that kind of animation banner that changes image every second or so. That image also keeps changing without any flicker in the device...

Anyway, it is necessary to understand the type of display is not an LCD but it is one of the best I've seen in its class. And I have a dozen such devices.

I think if PocketBook guys are concerned to improve and maintain the firmware, it could be one of the best devices ever (best than Kindles that IMHO are the best)...

The more I use it, more I like it.

However they need to be concerned more in usability and respect some kind of ergonomic rules. For example the dictionary use. It need to work only with a double stylus click over the word to search without any menu activation. Annotation must be the same: If you draw a line near the text, that text must be annotated. The same with zoom. Go to menu and activate zoom. Trace a line or rectangle into the document and zoom to it. This explanation is a mixed behavior between my Kindle 3 and my DR1000, and i think it must be the minimal things that this devices must do. PocketBoor is in the road to a great success, but they need to improve their firmware.

My two cents.
