Well! This looks like just the one I want but I'd like to ask a couple questions:

1) The *MAIN* reason I want an ebook reader is for PDFs. To be specific my digitized magazine PDFs. I have (or will have) magazine collections on DVDs*. These are PDF files containing hyperlinked entries and the pages are digitized magazine page images: not text. Can the M218 handle these well? I know they will be pixilated when zommed of course but can the M218 resize embedded images and handle the hyperlinked menus, entries and stuff?

2) How does a 16-level grayscale display handle photos? Does it dither those 16,000,000 colors into 16 grey shades? Are the pretty girls on the pages going to look all posterized and stuff?

Thanks

*OK, only one so far (Absolutely MAD) but I'm buying the Playboy collections too.
