MAJOR PRS 900 Improvement over PRS 505
I just noticed a MAJOR PRS 900 improvement over the PRS 505.
Whenever I changed font sizes with the PRS 505, the total pages in the book changed as well as my current page number.
With the PRS 900 no matter what font size I use, the total page numbers stay the same and the current page number stays the same as well.
In fact it matches the Sony PC Desktop Reader's page numbers which also stays the same no matter what font size I use.
Thus, if I am reading using the PC or the PRS 900 I can always advance the other to the same page number. Those page numbers are always constant and stay the same with both PC and eReader.
For me this is the most valuable advance of all since I mostly read on my PC with supplemental reading on the eReader and keeping them in sync had been the most difficult of my chores.
One other minor improvement is the new Zoom function of the PRS 900. That is especially valuable for reading PDF documents. With the PRS 505 many of those documents had fonts too small to be read no matter what font size I used since font sizing did not change the size for those PDF's. The PRS 900 has a supplemental Zoom function which can enlarge any PDF fonts. That is also a big help for me since I download Bible Study documents from the Internet in PDF and could not use them at all on the PRS 505. The only drawback of the Zoom function is that occasionally, after using it and then reading a normal ePub book, my PRS 900 would freeze. However, just pressing Options and then "Go to Page," would unfroze the device.
