Hello increduloussus and thank you for your very interessting and helpful posting!

I want to use this device most of all in landscape-mode to read PDFs!

I have three questions:
1. When Nathan reviewed the m96 ---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KD-BVPUqP7k --> at minute 9:25 he says that he can't scroll down on a page with his device; so if he presses the page-forward-button it doesnt show the top-half of the page and show then the bottom-half of the page - instead it directly jumps to the next page! I cant express myself perfectly in english but if you watch the video at minute 9:25 you will see what I mean. He also changed at minute 8:16 the view for a short time to landscape-mode and it is the same behaviour... My question is, how the Onyx Boox n96 reacts...? If you open a PDF in landscape-mode (due to the Rotate Scree Orientation app) without changing the settings (I wouldnt like to change settings every time I open a PDF) and press then the forward-button... Does it also jump from one page to the next page and avoid to show what is in-between the pages or does it correctly jump from one part to another on the same page? If it only jumps from one page to the next page, if someone would like to see a pdf in landscape-mode, it would be pretty useless for me...

2. Do you think that a 9.7 Inch screen is as good as a 13.3 Inch screen for reading PDFs? Do you miss a bigger screen or is 9.7 Inch big enough? I am not sure if 9.7 Inch are as good as 13.3 Inch... In landscape mode 9.7 is as width as 13.3 Inch in portrait-mode, isnt it? So PDFs shouldnt make a problem...?

3. You bought the model with light and not with touchscreen, right? How useable is the device without touchscreen? Do you miss a touchscreen? I am not sure, if touchscreen or light is more important to me... Like the others I would prefer touchscreen and light, even instead of a stylus...!

Thank you if you can make the situation more clear!
