Hey Sergio! I knew you'd have a good answer for Kittel, thanks! I can't find the photos of the Lonely Planet ACT ebook on my ECO Reader - did you keep a copy?

The latest firmware update enhanced ePubs nicely, adding better zoom levels, searchability and hyperlink support. More improvements are coming.

You can rotate the page 90, 180 or 270 degrees in FB2 format ebooks, so it seems reasonable that may be offered for other formats, with a future firmware update. You can use Calibre to convert PDF to FB2.

Kittel, please keep in mind that the ECO Reader is designed for reading novels. You'll have limited success with technical documents and user manuals - such as the Lonely Planet books. The text will mostly be readable, but you can't rely on the maps and instructions in the Lonely Planet PDFs on an ECO Reader. If you're prepared to put in the time and effort, as Sergio has, you can format the PDF to better suit an ECO Reader.

When travelling, I'd choose to load my ECO Reader up with novels and rely on a paper book or a non e-Ink device for maps and detailed instructions.

And.. the ECO Reader is beautiful to read on outdoors in the sunshine in Australia, too!
