What's wrong with the 100? I'm quite happy with mine.

Well, after years of reading ebooks (first .lit on iPAQs, then plucker on various Palms, then Mobipocket on Palms and Nokia phones), I finally caved in and got a used Nokia 770 to read PDF files, as I have lots of old tubes and electronic manuals to read which are scanned PDFs and I need a large display. The only problem is, the 770 sucks for reading them: the default pdf app is very user-unfriendly (zoom in, and turning a page is a 4-step operation including recentering it) and super-slow with scanned PDFs; evince crashes a lot (I'm on os2007) and it's almost unusable for scanned PDFs.
So I checked back here after a long time, read this thread, and thought the Viewsonic might work. Only the 100 seems a bit slow for scanned PDFs. If it isn't so, well I won't need a 110, even though there are a few ones for 70$ which looks like a very OK price, even including shipping to Italy.
Kind of a longish OT reply, sorry.
