Can someone tell me if the text can be zoomed on the 505? I haven't read anywhere that says it can, but I thought it still might. If someone could take a picture of the reader at the largest zoom setting I would be very appreciative.

Thanks,
Nicholas.
My eyes are not very good either. I find that the 505 does a very good zooming to an adequate size for what I need. It also seem to do an good job for the PDF books I download from the library although after zooming, the page numbers do not change with the zoom. One often goes through 3 pages with the same number. Not that great a difficulty since I really like the clearness of the screen.
