- you can minimize the device refresh by using the main memory or as others suggested, using the Sony software to paginate for you.
- eventually you will get the timing on the refresh so it becomes less annoying. i zip right through the menus.
- the buttons are strong. I would rather have to know that I am pushing than to have to have accidental button pushes (ala Kindle) or have a flimsy button that falls off
- formatting is a bit of an art, depending on the source. Using calibre and book designer, along with Word, can produce some really nice books.
- as for changing the font size, putting the book in main memory helps quite a biit
