To answer some questions most of which have already been
answered better than I can:

The power brick is hard wired only at the reader end. The cord
connecting to power has two plugs - one for the power supply and
one for the brick. Mine came with a two prong plug at the power
supply end for 110 volts outlets. There is no connection between
the power supply brick and the USB cable. The brick is labeled:

Sony AC power adapter AC-S5220E
5.2V
Input 100-240V ~ 50/60Hz 0.26A
Output 5.2V = 2000mA

(Interior Connector is Positive)



I've loaded rtf, BBeB (books from Manybooks.net for the Libre), and text to the
reader. All worked well, the size button switches them through
the 3 available sizes, S, M, L and from landscape to portrait when
held. The three sizes are available in either landscape or portrait.
A portion of the display is used to show - S,M, or L, battery information
and page numbers.

As to PDF - The three sizes are not available for PDF's. Instead
a push of the size button swithes between fit visible, and fit width.
I believe fit visible is the same as fit display and shows an S while
fit width shows an M at the bottom of the display. Again holding the
size button switches from landscape to portrait and fit visible and fit
width are available

I have one problem with the size button. Scanned pdf's, ver 1.4 with no fonts
do not seem to switch betwen fit visible and fit width. A scanned
pdf with pages 1.5 inches by 4 inches always shows fit visible. When
the size button is pushed it jumps to the first page instead of
switching between views. My other problem with the size button,
unpredictable results, was due to the inclusion of a pdf version 1.6 file
made with adobe acrobat 7. It seems to work OK but if the size button
is used to switch between views odd things happen. Not a problem
here as there was no promise of version 1.6 support.


The manual is a good example of a PDF file - It's nominal size is
5.24 x 6.69 inches; uses several fonts and displays well both on the
reader and on a PC. Links are implemented. Firmware updates are
mentioned on page 65.
