So first off, I am new to these forums, though I got my PRS-600 last Thursday and have been really, really happy with it. I ordered the red version from B&H ( http://bhphotovideo.com/ ) which had v. fast shipping. They're a great vendor, have bought a lot of other equipment from them with no issues.

I also grabbed up the M-Edge PRS-505 Excutive case when it was still $15 which is working out quite well. It does push on the volume button at the bottom right edge, but I haven't had any problems with that so far. It also gets in the way of the power switch a bit at the top left, though not in a bad way. It's rather bulky and is quite secure and well padded.


As to the below, no, I have found that you cannot trim the edges off of the PDFs, sadly. This means it's pretty hard to read in certain files, though if you have the orientation in landscape then it helps a fair amount. Each page is then two pages, and while the fonts are rather small and the margins are pretty large even at this point, it's been doing the job for me lately.

You cannot keep the zoom, so each page you'll have to re-zoom in. For some files, the re-flow (Medium, Large, etc. fonts) does work rather well, though in others it's not quite as great: I have a couple PDFs that preserve line breaks, so you get crazy ragged edges (i.e., every other line is about three words). In all cases w/ PDFs, page breaks are always preserved, which is rather annoying: that is to say that even when there is just one paragraph/sentence/word that goes into the next page turn due to re-flow, the rest of the page is blank, so you have to turn the page again to start the the next page in the PDF.

Can the PRS-600 trim the page-margins of a pdf?

800 pixels would suffice with trimmed page-margins but without trimming im not so sure it's enough.
Because otherwise i would have to zoom-in, pan around, zoom-out, and only then would i be able to go to the next page. Is that correct?

Thanks!
oh and sorry for being offtopic again.
