Without the zoom function, you cannot really use all kinds of pdfs.
Which means to me, it is more usefull for reading easily scalable formats like EPUB only.
But then again, you do not need 8" and hence no need to pay the markup in comparision to the 6" devices.
The iREX seems to forget it is not them who decide, what features the "consumer" version (using the description coined by Shaggy) should contain, but the consumers and the market.
As far as PDF handling abilities of the Pocketbook are concerned, they are way more advanced in comparison to DR800 and still they do not position their products as professional devices.
The build quality of the DR800 seems to be better, though.
PS: mgmueller, thanks for your review. It was very informative and useful.

As far as I understand, iRex didn't leave anything out. In my understanding, it's an entirely different application. In the past, they've had their own "viewer". Now it's the Adobe SDK. And this seems to be the reason, why it maybe complicated, to integrate the zoom level.
