I have several PDF books with lots of photos in them, reflow doesn't work. With a DR 800 with zoom capabilities those would not represent a problem. It would also be great for newspapers. And yes, for text reflow doesn't always work well. Everybody who has tried zoom is happy with it.
I really like the DR 800's screen size to device size ratio. With zoom and annotation features I would buy it, but without I think the Plastic Logic is a better deal. After all it even includes WiFi and is a lot cheaper than the DR1000. So Irex is losing a lot of business for the 800 (among MR members) because of these decisions. The DR 1000 is really not on the menu for me unless the price is lowered significantly and the battery life improves.
