Hi,

I'm planning to buy the PRS-600 soon. However, I'd like to ask a few questions about how some of its features work.

PDF reflow. I heard that the device supports PDF reflow, but only if there are no images. Is this true? Does this mean that if there's only one image in the whole PDF file, I can only read it with normal zoom view? And can you switch between reflow mode and non-reflow mode on the device?

Audio controls during reading. Are the audio playback controls visible on the screen while reading a book? What I have in mind is listening to audio books while reading the same book -- but I would want to have the ability to easily pause the playback, or even rewind a few seconds. Would I be able to do this on the book screen? Or would I need to switch over to the audio screen?

Thank you for answering. I do have one more question, but it's a trickier one: does anybody know what the most cost-effective solution is to order this Reader and have it shipped to Hungary? The factors being the price of the device itself, plus delivery, handling, customs, whatever.

Please answer, even if you can't answer all the questions.

Cheers,

--Szajd
