I guess it depends on the reader you're using for the document. I just tried a PDF docuemnt with the default reader, AFAIK it's Adobe. After I zoomed in to 300% I could pan with my finger in all directions.

Sometimes when in reflow mode, the search, after a long "hour-glass" time it just exits the book itself.
Sorry I can't help you with that, I had similiar experiences and came to the conclusion to avoid PDF where possible, if not don't expect much of the reader.

You may try the alternative reader pdfviewer. In your book shelf tick and hold your book/document until the context menu pops up, select 'Open with' select 'pdfviewer'. That may solve some of your problems and may introduce new ones. ;-)

I download my daily newspaper through the phone, as the 302 still does not support book downloads. On the PB302 I press the power button once and select the bluetooth symbol in the right of the top icon bar. After a fow seconds you get a message that bluetooth has been switched on. Beware it havily drains your battery, so switch it off after the transfer. In my phone's file browser I select 'send via bluetooth', select pb302 from the selection list and the transfer starts. However I got the impression that sometimes the phone fails to connect to the PB when I try to send another file some time later. In this case I need to restart the pb302.
I got the impression this is based on obex filetransfer and should work with almost any Bluetooth device.

Sorry only a few answers to your questions, hope they're helpful anyway.

Bye Dimpflmoser
