Hi all-

I'm considering purchasing a Pocketbook 902 to replace my Kindle DX because of the better pdf/djvu file support, but was wondering if someone who has one could take a few minutes to answer a few questions:

1) Does either of the pdf viewers support internal links in pdfs and/or at least a linked table of contents?

2) For text pdfs, is there a search function?

3) I know that the pdf viewer doesn't automatically remove margins like the Kindle DX, but that there is a zoom feature. A lot of my pdfs come from scans of books; hence the right and left pages have different margins. If someone else has pdfs like that, do you find that you need to rezoom after every page? Or can you usually find a setting that works for both right and left pages?

4) Is there the ability to zoom in the viewer for djvu files?

5) Is there the ability to search for words in the viewer for djvu files?

If anyone has any suggestions/comments in comparing the DX and the 902 for pdf reading, I'll take all the advice I can get.

Thanks so much!
