I know that someone asked this several pages back, but RObertb never answered it.

Can the 9.7" Mentor reflow tagged PDFs? This comprises the bulk of my e-document reading.

Does either of the USB ports have true USB port capability and not just slave USB port capability like a camera has, so that I could load documents from USB memory sticks?

Due to their use in many generic cameras, SD cards are a lot more available worldwide (particularly in 3rd world countries) than CF cards and at least 2 orders of magnatude more available than Sony memory cards. So I hope this thing has an SD slot.

I hope it comes with an automatic switching 100V-250V charger with adapters to every conceivable wall plug. Wall plug configuration is no guarantee of what voltage its running and the locals often have no clue what their own voltage is. The Philippines uses U.S. style wall outlets but 220 volts. Riyadh uses the big British 220 style outlets but runs them 110 – and both the outlet style and voltage vary from town to town in Saudi.
