@LVD

believe me, not everyboday in europe is very fond of the idea of paying 670€ for a "book"...

About the V8/V2 thing...I'll be waiting for the results of the V2 "launch" and whether Jinke will send me a sample. Since June is almost over I won't have to wait for long.
In the meantime I'll keep trying to colect information about the V8 (adapted version) to see how well it handles english language. I'm quickly starting to lose interest in PDF ebooks, because they seem to be made mainly/only for big screens, so I wouldn't be too sorry to see that format not supported.
If .txt and .html work well enough in the near future I'll probybly just get the V8 to use until the next generation of ebook readers arrives.
A screen-size that is small than the V8 wouldn't be interesting for me, because reading from a small screen means either small fonts or lots of page-turning and both are not what I'd like to see.

I have another question by the way...is there any way to use a different font-size on the V8 (or to zoom out to fit more characters onto a page in .txt or html? also, does the V8 properly support italics and bold type-settings? Many books rely on using those to stress certain words or "mark" irony, so it could be a problem if this wasn't supported.

Thanks.
