The current COOL-ER firmware doesn't resample, or rather it pixel resamples instead of subpixel/multisampling, so it doesn't look as good as it could. See the first image here and the surrounding notes for details on the problem.

At higher font sizes, PDF formatting breaks. If you read ordinary books on it, it might be fine (*shrug*), but technical manuals or books where heavy table formatting is important suck with broken formatting.

Do note, I'm new to ebook readers (but come from a graphics background), so for all I know this could be a common (though it's a totally fixable) problem.
