I could not find the power supply for my 8" tablet but I dug out my ST3500 (10.4" 800x600) and using foxit I can rotate and view full screen and tap to advance a page.

its shockingly usable. the tinest test is hard to impossible to read but 99% of the text is larger than this. For now its surprisingly usable and I get a battery life of around 4-5 hours like this and I have tons of batteries for this thing :-) even an external dual batt charger though I think 4+ hours is more than enough.

I will go check out that forum as well!

alas I don't think a 7" screen will cut it. its "just" usable at 10.4 inches so I think it will be an issue at 7"

BUT it does mean those 1024x600 screen 10" units "might" be usable. Maybe. I plan to get one for video playback so no harm in tossing a PDF on it and seeing what happens. sure will have letter boxing on the top and bottom but thats ok.

it also means a 1024x768 screen WILL be quite nice. So time to save up pennies for a XGA tablet probable the Motion Computing LE1600 as they are a bit lighter and thinner than the ST5x series Fujitsu units.
