That being said, I will send Scotty some more info via email. Just in case he gets bored this weekend

iRex has pointed out several times: its a book reader, not a PDA.
In this case I'm trying to point out: its 16 grey, not 16.7 million color.
The number one priority on a 16 greys eBook reader is glyphs. The text must be impressively sharp and crisp.
If someone comments negatively on a picture you just look at them and say "Hey, 16 greys, they'll have the color one out next year." Heads will nod sagely and go back to admiring the crisp glyphs.
I haven't gotten your email yet, but I found an X drawing speed up to make that I suspect you'll agree is worthy. You can even drop it into the 24bpp ipdf.
Hopefully that'll keep you from being bored this weekend as well.
