Huh, I had assumed that you would be able to zoom PDFs and scribble notes as per the Sony Reader touch.

I've said in a previous post that the UK price is a shame compared to the US price (considering the lack of 3G). And now I find out that features like PDF zoom and scribbling are not available.

iRex, you need to remove this product from sale and re-release it when it's ready and at the right price (consider the competition... Sony Reader Touch is £220). The only reason I haven't bought the Sony is because of the poor contrast due to the resistive touch-screen however a non-resistive touch screen is not worth two Sony Readers. iPad with Kindle App suddenly looks more promising.
