me somewhat regret having chosen this device.
Are you talking about using pinch and zoom in coolreader, or in the reading apps that were developed by PocketBook? I know that it works in the latter. I'm not sure about coolreader, but if it doesn't work there, you can't blame PocketBook for that (except that they haven't released a new SDK for the latest devices).

As far as keyboard problems go, I've never had that problem with my Touch Lux. Maybe someone with a Touch Lux 2 can say something about that.

It's true that the screen is slow compared to other technologies, and that using it for general web browsing usually works poorly (because of all the animations used on most web sites). I don't think that this problem is specific to PocketBook's ereader, but rather to all e-ink ereaders. They are not good replacements for tablets in that sense.
