Hi Igorsk

You are correct, I should have been more specific and say “in all the reflowing text formats the reader can read today, but not in PDF” (the unique readers that reflow PDF text files are the Sony 505 and the 700).

Still, I think Wetdogeared understood it was so, as he answered to my post with:
«Thanks for that. We can borrow from the local/provincial library in MobiPocket format. I see that the Cybook is now licensed to sell in Canada. (At some time they wouldn't support warranty in Canada, but I guess they must now.)»

One more thing, the same result (sort off) can be obtained in PDF because with the last firmware upgrade there are 6 levels of zoom to choose from (50%, 60, 80, 90 and 100%) the options fit page, fit width and fit height… and also one can apply all of them in portrait or landscape.
Some people are very pleased with this way of treating PDF’s, I myself find it almost useless, and have expressed myself several times all over the forum, for Bookeen to let us have reflowing text PDF’s (a la Sony), as I see that to be the best solution - have used it on the Acrobat reader for the Pocketpc for years (it exists since 2002!)
