I agree that iRex has probably more than halved its sales by excluding PDF zoom. Practically every "Which one" thread asks for PDF, yet the iLiad "solved" the PDF EInk problem years ago (8" or larger screen and flexible zoom).

Now it is looking like the Jinke A9, or the Asus DR-950, or the Qnyx 8" device, or the PocketBook 901 will provide the first affordable EInk PDF reader. One more blown opportunity by iRex.
