1.) a) I'm mainly looking at using my reader for reading screenplays, which are usually formatted as 8.5×11 Letter size PDFs. How will these look on the DR800's screen? If anyone here has a DR800 and some time, I'm willing to chuck you a few quid via PayPal if you'll try a few documents for me and take photographs.
1.) b) Alternately, what's the best way to simulate an ebook reader's screen on my laptop? I've tried shrinking a PDF on screen so it's the same physical size as the DR800's screen and they seem readable, but I wonder what role dpi/ppi plays.

If it's any help: I just bought a DR800SG for pretty much your reasons in 1(a), except in my case it will be technical documents rather than screenplays. I think that DR800 is the best choice, overall, if you'll be reading documents of this sort in addition to books, newspapers, and such.

That might give you easier viewing of your screenplays.
