I'm happy to have hardware buttons in the built-in browser on Sony T1, one push = one page. The quesion is how does Glo scroll in web? Soft buttons in browser, double touch or some other gestures, shaking?

- zooming/increasing of font sizes in web browser? Soft buttons, menu?

- how comfortable is reading of wide web pages, for example this forum. Can a topic be re-rendered to see only messages, without authors on right side? I mean scroll to left show authors, of course. On Android it's very easy, on iOS- is a pain.

The same questions to Kindle Paperwhite, which has no buttons too...
I'll add these 4 questions to my list, but I have to say I bought this product to read epubs, not to browse the web, so its functionality in this area is unlikely to have a major bearing on my overall thoughts. It takes long enough to web browse on my Android, I can't imagine it's any easier on an eReader.

Still, it's an included feature, so I shall be happy to report on it. Same goes for the Facebook integration. I have no desire to use this, but I'll review it all the same.
