This is great for programmers out there to look at large database schematics, and class inheritance charts. I can see this also being of use for looking at blueprints, electronic schematics, etc. When I first looked into buying the 700 I didn't really see much of a use for storing pictures on the device, but knowing that I can zoom-in and slide these around now I do.

With my profession, the ability to zoom into images like this, is exactly why I ordered my PRS-700.

You have just confirmed my basic hunch, and why the PRS-700 will find new applications that even Sony did not anticipate.

My PRS-700 should arrive this Friday, and I will be pushing it to it's limits.
