Hi Jaie - when I was trying to view a couple PDF files formatted for standard letter size paper, JetBook did let me zoom 50%, 75%, 100%, 150%, 200% etc. all the way upto 6400% ... however, the main problem I had was that anytime I crossed 75 or 100%, the full line was not visible in the screen at a time (even in landscape mode) and I had to constantly scroll back and forth to read complete lines.

In the PDF files you have tried, have you seen this issue ?

I guess this is what is called "reflowing" which the Sony PRS-505 seems to be doing a very good job of (never putting the horizontal scroll bar) ... but the JetBook would put the horizontal scroll bar whenever I exceeded 75% (or in some cases 100%) zoon. And to get a readable font size, I was having to go to 150-200% for most documents.

Just curious if you have seen this issue.
