Its actually annoying that I can not read magazine pdf's on this. (that would have been nice) whats so odd is that the screen is supposed to be 800x600 and I also have a tablet with an 800x600 screen. I can read it on the tablet but not on the sony reader.
so I figured the 10" screen was why so I put it on my 2300 (7" 800x600 screen) and I could still read it fine.
I am starting to think it has to do with RENDERING ie the sony reader tries to render it in "shades" and the text for whatever reason always gets rendered in GREY instead of BLACK on top of that there seems to be a dithering problem (again lack of shades)
I think if they could somehow make it display the text portions or what it thought were text portions as 100% solid black that magazines would be quite readable.
Even horizontally I can not read (some are ALMOST legible) here is a picture of PC magazine jan 2007
goto

portrait and landscape as well as normal text at the smallest size. I find this more than readable so the pdf should also be readable. I am 99% certain that the mag is not readable not because of SIZE but because of the rendering engine.
they are uploading now give it 5 minutes or so
