Matthijs:

I think the majority of users would be more happy with faster rendering than with nice looking colour PDF images. Anyway we have only 16 colours.

I have PDF documents that take more than 16 seconds to render sometimes. Even if I read in sequential order, sometimes I want to skip pages and flip them over, when prerendering just fails.

Actually in the iLiad settings there should be a switch: faster PDF viewing or better looking images. The user can choose which one he wants.

please give the user choices! It will not make this device overly difficult to use! It is up to you whether you go into the settings or not, and also you could any time go back to default as an option, this way there would be nothing to worry about.

I can not see why this would be a problem.
