Now that's pure awesome news about adding the multi-column support! Onyx is one of the best companies when it comes to post-release support of their products. To be honest, I didn't expect new firmware with such important and powerful new features added one and a half year after the reader hit the market. It was good choice to buy M92 :-)

Fonts in multi-column PDFs where often just to small to read comfortably and complex page layouts where not easily handled in zoom mode. I used cut2col tool to extract columns to separate pages, but with some more complex eBooks containing tables and images spanning across multiple columns it was just too much work to cut a few hundreds of pages analysing layout page-by-page.

I own a Polish edition of the reader, so I'll have to wait a few weeks until Arta Tech prepares the binaries for it, but I'm already hooked.
