And it really isn't a delay when they ship early, pull it back, and then reship it early again. But it is annoying to wait after you are told it was shipped.
On the Sony, the big deal with pinch to zoom is useful for fixed layout formats like PDF, or with images that are shrunk down. Say, comics, diagrams, and so on.

Thank you for the clarification on that. I'm not very familiar with how these things work, design/software-wise.
The T1 doesn't do landscape mode, does it? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it does - so I can see how the pinch to zoom as-is on the T1 would be helpful for that format. I'm still skeptical about it though, since it's still a PDF viewed on a 6-inch screen. I will, of course, try it out when I get my reader.
ETA: You know, I think I might be thinking of the Nook Simple Touch when I say no landscape mode. Oops.
