First let me thank Gregor for creating the PDF viewing app. Since I have not purchased a DR800SG yet, I'm not able to test the existing PDF viewer or his app. As a potential buyer, I'd love to see some reviews of the device on Amazon, with the depth of some of the reviews on the Kindle DX:

Most notably, there is a post by one reviewer, Fred Bacon, that really gets to the heart of the matter. Only by trying out several hundred PDF files (and inducing a memory leak) can you tell how stable the PDF software is. Has anyone compared the Irex pdf implementation with that of Adobe? What type of pdf files does the Irex have difficulty rendering? I find the iPad to be wanting, the Sony readers goofy, and the K2 abysmal in the pdf reading department. Woe to the honest man in search of a good pdf reader!

Anyway, I'm tempted to buy the reader just to test the oem software and Gregor's app. Decisions, decisions.
