Hi,

Wanted to buy the reader. I have many PDF files which are truly ONLY images (scans of the original book).

The format varies from "regular book" size to "A4" size (and/or US "Letter" size).

How does the Sony reader handle these files?
I am sure the quality will not be as good as a normal PDF file.

Will the Sony be still a good device to read those files?
WIll it scale the image to the 6 inch screen?
Or will I have to pan/scroll the image many times through the book, to see a single page?
How is the response time (for pan/scroll/next page) for those type of PDF? Slow/Fast/Acceptable?

P.S. Have any of you used OneNote 2007. Especially the OCR inside images feature. Fantastic!! That is something I would appreciate from a reader
