oh, well, nope this device is a total fail for me. The screen ratio is about 1.8 (~16:9 ratio) so that 11.6" is pure marketing fluff and makes the design of this particular run counter to the reason most who want a large format reader need to use it for.

We need devices as close to a 1.3 (4:3) screen ratio as possible. 1.778 is waaaaaay to far into the tall & skinny wide screen. Not even going to get a second glance from me. oh, well the search goes on.
