Thanks for your reply. I have been so frustrated this week, that I was about to cancel my Sony PRS-700, and order another Kindle.

Using OCR software, ANY EBOOK READER can display text!

Like you, tables and images are very important and the ability to display them is vital.

For TEXT, my Kindle has been fantastic and I absolutly love it. In the middle of the night, if an idea hits me, I can explore the internet and find an answer.

Driving down the road, my wife has often asked me a difficult question. No problem, I just activate the Kindle's internet capability and find the answer.

Now, why would I want to spend more money on a Sony PRS-700, that does not have this internet capability and costs more?

Goggle Books!
