Thanks again. I've just borrowed a Compaq TC1000 out of work for a month to see how it functions as a slate for reading PDF's on. It's about 3 times heavier than an iLiad, will have much less battery life, but is colour, which will be useful for things like Scientific American etc.

If the TC1000 is too restrictive, due to weigh and battery etc. then an iLiad will be in the frame. I would like to have a look at the Motion Computing LS800 as well. It's small and light.

I had a play yesterday with a Samsung Q1 in work. it's a nice size and weight. I couldn't get PDF Reader in full screen mode to show the top half of an A4 page then the bottom half. Not surprisingly it displayed the whole page in full page mode! Does anyone know of any way to show half a page in full screen mode?
