I've been noticing a lot of covers are coming with about 1600 lines. This is hi-res. The problem is these older devices that are 800x600 don't have enough working memory. These Readers don't work all that well with hi-res graphics. Also, some of these Readers have a slower processor and with the slower processor and less system RAM, they either run very slowly when displaying hi-res graphics or they crash. This has nothing to do with scaling the graphics to fit the screen. The graphics have to be fully loaded before being displayed.
