Oooh, this is brilliant! Longer battery life and native PDF - just what I wanted

UPDATE: I gave this a quick test using some genealogy software to generate a file. Setting the page size to "A5" -- which is abt 5 x 8 -- creates a presentable, readable document. Woo-hoo!
'A6' is pretty close to the physical screen size. I need to experiment a bit more, but it looks like a 9x10.5 cm page size fits the screen well.

I'll take all extra battery life I can get. It didn't go four days with wireless on, for me. I like the current font, but more size choices would be nice, and and I can understand if other people get a better reading experience with a different font.

Please... It all depends on how the PDFs are formatted. I prefer it for recipes, for example, as it easily allows me control over what's on the page. It's nice to have the whole ingredient list on one page.
