1. Many of the ebooks I have are pdf files containing scanned images of book pages. These files range in size from 5MB up to about 75MB. Will your device be able to handle such large pdf files? How long will it take to open such a file? How long to flip to the next/prev page? Will the zoom function work on image-based pdfs, and if so, will I be able to pan/scroll around on the zoomed page?
The smaller PPro is not well suited for scanned-image PDFs. For those, the larger 8-11 inch devices will be much better. The ZOOM function basically is an ENLARGE FONT function, if memory serves.

Not sure how the device will handle LARGE files upwards of 75 MB. Someone else might can answer this.

2. What color will the included case be? I've seen pictures on the Jinke site that show brown. I'd really prefer black.
It's a brown case with an ivory interior. Classy, but unfortunately no black.

3. Do you have photographs of the actual units in the various colors yet? I'm leaning towards a blue one, but I'd like to see the real thing (not a rendering).
There are pics in this very thread, I believe, if you scroll back a few days.
