Thanks, I knew about the V5, but the post above led me to think there was a version of the bebook (V3) firmware that had the xpdf option as well.

My understanding is that the TTS feature of the V5 requires XPDF, but I hope that this option is made standard in future V3 firmware as well. The ability to reflow AND zoom is definitely a selling feature of Sony's PRS-600 and 700.
