I have a Bebook with the February firmware installed.

Initial layout isn't great, tiny text and white space borders down the sides. Pretty much unreadable.

Next zoom size: quite readable and graphs are OK. Maps are just readable but full page ones get split over 2 pages and so you need to go back and forwards.

Next zoom size: easily readable but pages are now horizontal. Pictures and graphs are easily readable but a PDF page is spread over 3 Bebook screens.

This is pretty much what I was expecting as a 6" screen doesn't do PDFs well.
The Hanlin's only have a 4 grey scale screen which makes maps and pictures pretty ugly. The chapters are pretty cheap so if you can't find the free examples grab one and give it a go.

On a 8-10" screen these chapters would be completely viable.

Thanks much for that info!!!
