This PDF was an awkward reading experience, and without a large enough screen to display it full size I expect the experience to stay awkward.

Thank you for for all the information!
You do confirm my feeling that none of these small devices will be able to display these kinds of pdfs in a really usable way. Maybe I should think about getting a small one for everyday carry-with-me purposes and occasional pdf reading, and wait for one of the larger devices that will allow comfortable reading and annotating letter and a4-sized pdfs. In this spirit,
I would like to repeat my question whether you know anything about possible release dates for the larger boox devices? As you didn't answer these questions, I suppose that you don't know anything about that. The irex dr1000 is a bit too expensive and has too short battery life in my opinion. I wonder whether the sony daily edition might be a good competitor for the irex dr1000, or the new plastic logic device, both should be available by early 2010. Would be interesting to know whether we will be able to purchase larger boox devices by that time...
