Thank you again guys!
Just like CampGareth wrote there is no "pinching the screen" or "multitouch". Only the tiny stylo (not sure if other models will work) can be used to interact on the screen. A double click to zoom will not work in the pdf reader. However, it sometimes works in the browser.

The A2 mode on the M96 is useless in most regards. Only when you use a really big font the text stays readable. But why would you do that on a 9.7" reader?
I personally am under the impression that the A2 mode really only works on HD displays. M96 does -unfortunately- not fall into that category (see my pictures in one of the previous posts).

I have to add that I don't feel the A2 is needed that much. Given the bad quality it simply is not an option, but I don't feel that I would need it.
In pdf mode you can tell the reader to refresh at an intervall of 3, 5, 7 pages or never. A manual refresh, as pointed out by Booxtor, can be achieved by keeping the "Homebutton" (which really is a menu button and does not get you to "home") pressed.
