I do agree though about remembering the last page read, hopefully that will be part of the software upgrade, but besides that I think the pan and scan pinch to zoom etc. works really nice.
This is true. I don't really have a whole lot of books in PDF because epub is so vastly superior in every way, I don't know why anyone would bother if they don't have to.

But I have some tech books and cookbooks in PDF, and they read just fine. Not being able to save the last page CAN be annoying, but since I don't use it too often, the annoyance is kept to a minimum. If all I had were PDF docs, it would probably be a deal breaker.

But even still, it hardly makes the NC a "terrible ereader", and I still take exception to that blanketed phrase. My NC makes a fine ereader for MY needs.
