A lot of that depends on the PDF you're looking at, and how much rendering needs to be done before it's ready to draw it on the screen.

the battery life is very poor. again, my n800 (and multiple zauruses before that) woiuld last days before recharging.

boot and shutdown times are very slow. and no way to have it in standby. - does anybody know if the screen can be left with a page on display or should the device be shutdown everytime?
A lot of this should be taken care of in the 1.5 firmware, due out soon.

in the current version, formatting of SD cards dont work - all cards, regardless of capacity get formatted as 1 gb. need to format them separately before they work. also, only fat32 seem to be supported. no ext3.
My understanding is that formatting doesn't work on the newer SDHC cards, because the DR1000 doesn't fully support them. Are you using a SDHC or a regular SD card?

Yes, it probably only supports fat32 natively. There was a way to get the iLiad to recognize ext3 filesystems, maybe that'll be possible on the DR1000 once somebody figures out how to modify the fstab.
