If I'm officially told that I should use "petrol" without any further denominations, rather than "unleaded 95-octane petrol", then yes, producer is liable.

1) Do not buy a reader or return it to the producer under warranty (let us expect producer will accept it as warranty case, even thought, to my opinion, it is not)
2) Do not read bizarre pdfs, which are a little fraction of all pdfs and/or somehow "fix" bizarre pdfs, so that they are readable.
What do you recomend to those who decide for 1)? Which 10" e-reader would you recomend for reading such files and scribbling and annotating?

Why should I tell anyone what to do? I believe people should be allowed to make informed decisions, and that is it. If they know that device is sometimes malfunctioning and still buy it, it may be because there are other reasons that outweigh that. I for one use it because it improves my workflow, even if I cannot be completely sure that it will really do what the maker promises. But the day it stops (say it turns out I need to spend too much time figuring how to use this or that pdf), i'll just dump it, even if I have to use Kindle or (horribile dictu) iPad instead.
