Well, I hadn't thought of that but since you suggested......

Actually I put the same book on both, read until the battery dies down, then switch Iliads, charge no.1 up, lather, rinse, repeat, until finished.

Your comment about PDFs brings up a question. I have not been able to get pdfs to size properly, the only ones readable are those from Feedbooks or Manybooks which are formatted for the Iliad page. And of course the documents included on the device from Irex, which are in pdf.

I've followed the zoom instructions and have not been satisfied with the size increase. Just drawing an imaginary line though mid-page after pressing zoom makes it 'almost' right, but never quite right. I always wind up converting pdfs to prc and can control font size easily in that format.

What exactly am I doing wrong with the zoom?
