Like HarryT has correctly noted several times now (and I agree, we should do more to drill this into peoples heads), PDF is not an e-book format.
I did just realize myself that the guide doesn't have anything to do with PDF files.

Ahh.. It's not an ebook format I understand, but it is a format I read ALOT of.

Is it possible to convert the .pdf file to a format to one that is more easily readable?

gwynevans, I think I probably sound like a noob, but I only just updated my firmware following your advice, and MAN, what a huge difference it makes!

The page-turning is still kinda too slow for my hyperactive brain and eyes, but the words are much bigger now; I love it!

Now, if only I could make the page-turn faster..
