Nice thread, full packed with useful information.

Sorry to invade your turf, but I am having the same problem as Francesco despite having version 14.2 on my device. I am not seeing "Open With" only "Open" and the latter gives me no choice of the PDF reader. PDFs are what I bought this little thing mainly for and if I am not able to render them well, this neat device will be much less useful for me. I like it a lot and would hate to return it.

I bought it just a few days ago and so no wonder that version 14.2 was installed on it, yet it looks that this is some kind of incomplete version 14.2 or else I don't know what to think about it. Any ideas what could be wrong?

The thing is that PDFs are not rendered very consistently by the zoom. In some files, the zoom makes the text disappear from the screen. I guess it gets shifted outside the screen or something like that. Even in the 150% mode and in the 100% mode the text is just too small to read. Other PDF files are rendered okay, not as well as epub files but well enough.

Any help would be appreciated.
