Having tried the A2 mode, I can see that it gives smooth scrolling on web pages which is impressive for an eInk display but unfortunately you can't read the text once you've stopped scrolling which makes it pointless really. It's a shame it can't use A2 for panning and zooming and then refresh normal mode once you stop.
Having used the device a bit longer, I've got more used to the awkward touch system but really find myself using the hardware buttons where I can because the work every time. I've also followed aswang's advice and played around with the contrast settings in other apps and got a usable compromise of black and smudgy where you can read the text.
Viewing PDF's is great though using the built in OnyxReader especially with the auto-crop zoom feature. I'm also trying music scores too and these are pretty good in landscape mode although I'm not sure how the page turns will work.
The low res of screen is beginning to really annoy me though as some small text isn't very legible and even bigger text is blocky looking particularly if you turn the contrast up.
Overall it's acceptable although I can't help thinking the stylus model would have been a better option and it's expensive for what it is particularly considering the low-res screen.
