The one thing Ectaco (or whoever is in charge of the software) needs to address quickly is the selection in the menu. A 1 or 2 pixel box around the selection is just ridiculous. It is just too hard to see where the cursor is. It should be displayed either as a negative or with a big arrow on the side as done with the Sony. This issue is my biggest peeve, one that should be easy to fix, just to give you an idea how satisfied I am so far with the Jetbook.

As for PDF display I am still experimenting with Feedbook's custom PDF. I tried setting it to match the Jetbook display (3x4). It works OK but something isn't right because it doesn't maintain the margins I set, even when set to full screen. Viewing the 3x4 at 100% shows that the actual size is only 1/9 the screen size.

Update: PDF display seems a little inconsistent. As mentioned above setting the PDF to match the physical display of the Jetbook has 2 different results depending on the setting. Using the full screen mode it covers pretty much the entire screen. But at zoom 100% the PDF tiny, about 1/9 of the screen size.

Now if you zoom in about 400% you can get a PDF with margins that looks like a book page. Actually I go back and forth about what I want - a reader to display as much text as possible or a display that emulates a book. Since I use my finger as a guide when I read I tend to like some margins especially at the bottom.

For use with 400% zoom the custom PDF setting I have settled on so far in Feedbook is as follows:
  • Doc size = 80x107mm
  • Font size = 10pt
  • Font = New Century Schoolbook
  • Margins = 5mm(top)x7(bottom)x4(sides)

BTW the above is using fw 30i.
