I've also noticed the .pdf e-books open faster with this version, which I think may be related to the addition of the multitasking feature. I've also noticed the highlighting in .pdf documents works a lot smoother than in the past and it's a lot easier to get the highlighting to go where you want it to.
Finally, I've done some work with the .epub e-books in the .pdf reader and it looks promising. The hyperlinks work, I haven't tried one yet that points to the Internet.
I do have one request for the .epub e-books in the .pdf reader. Would it be possible to have some way to control the margins either as with .pdf documents or the same way as in CoolReader, which I have not tested yet. CoolReader has problems with reading .epub e-books that are on memory cards.
I'll do some more testing in a couple of days and provide more specific feedback. Hope you're having a Merry Christmas with your family...7 kids, you must have a "corporate account" with Santa!

Re: highlighting in PDF documents--is that going faster after a 10-15 pages with highlights? What I noticed with that feature is that as you advance in your reading and your document accumulates more highlights the highlighting becomes very slow. That would be noticeable after 10-15 page with 10 highlights each. It becomes so slow that it is unusable and it lags behind. The highlight appears long after you raised your pen from the screen.
Re: scribles -have they added support for straight lines or underlining? That would be required if the highlighting continues to lag
thanks
