I think it's probably as good a compromise as is possible at the moment. I read a lot of journal articles in PDF, often at or about A4. Some of them are fine as they come, but some need some tweaking before I put them on the unit. For some reason journal designers seem to think that taking up half the page area with margins is a good thing - which it might be for paper journals but is a right pain in the whatsit when you want to read the article on a reader. Certainly the zoom function will only enhance the multi-purpose useability of the unit.
If I only wanted to read books I would have gone for something different - I'm still glad I went for the DR800.
