I have to agree with you here.
Though he brings up some valid points, that it takes too many clicks before you can actually do something!

Ectaco should get their menu structure more efficient; like have a highlight mode and a pen input mode. When turning on highlight mode,the device needs to remain in this mode (although I wonder what I'd do with many highlights).

There's currently little use for highlighting text,other than have TTS read it (or translate from dictionary if that function has been enabled).

But in any case, it does not mean that over time the process can't be improved upon, as these issues are mainly softwarematic, and can be rewritten to function better!

They just need to have some hands on the device, and hear some complaints; then can improve the FW as necessary.
As far as the zoom on PDF, it's better than my sony reader, who offered zero zoom; and when zooming in a PDF it turned to reflow and increased font size; which works for text based PDF's, but images got all messed up.
And this is Sony I'm talking about, one of the three major e-reader brands of the beginning!
