Hi guys,

If you compare PDF rendering speed and quality on the DR1000, please mention your firmware version. It improved greatly with version 1.6 (released mid-May 2009) over 1.5. (I haven't experimented with Kindle's, this might be the same, that firmware versions improve rendering speed and/or quality).

BTW, it has already been announced that the DR1000 switches from an open source PDF rendering engine to Adobe's Mobile PDF engine, which would greatly enhances PDF rendering speed, especially with PDF's containing bitmap images. So what's good might become even better. Looking forward!
