for me this is wrong..
I read only pdf ebooks for example (and almost 50% of e-reader buyers do the same in my opinion) and I want to get the text as much big as possible from the e-reader, being the page of the real book usually bigger than the screen. Usually the books, the technical ones, have a lot of white space at the margins; space that I don't need.. but i don't want to loose the nice and professional formatting of the book itself.. so I want zooming instead of reflow..

even the possibility of having bigger text when rotating 90° would have been a sort of trade-off..

it's a pity that at last you made a unit that is not defective from the hardware perspective and you are keeping it down for marketing reasons..

I personally will never buy a dr1000 (that btw I tried personally) because it's a defective product from the hardware side..
-the battery life it's ridiculous
-the capacitative buttons are unusable and difficult to aim
-there is some noise when you read..
-the scribble and note taking is not good enough (not very interested in this)

instead the dr800 is good from the hardware side,and personally I would buy it if it had a good zoom for pdf, even without scribble.
