I'll be curious as to your impressions of battery life over the next few days as you use it, particularly if you just keep it in standby as opposed to shutting it the whole way down. On my Kindle and Sony I never turn it off, just use the standby, which gives great battery life. |

Wow, my unit has not even arrived, thank you for your first impressions! Looks really good so far.
Hope that UPS guy will show up in the next hours |

And can you view large PDFs in two pages like the SONY landscape mode? Last edited by osama_jamal; 01-21-2010 at 09:24 AM. |

So you only can increase font size, thus "ruining" the layout. So it's the same as with all units < DIN A4/letter: It's a compromise for complex documents. |

BTW: I thought it was a good idea as well. But after having seen it in action, I never use it on my Sony 900. Wasting too much space, no real benefit. |

You can stick to the original layout, with its pre-defined margin. Or you can change the font size and then cut the margin. But this means, you can't eliminate the margins from your original layout. This has been perfect with iLiad's "intelligent" zoom. So I'd still consider iLiad the #1 unit for (complex) PDFs. |

But back to the DR800S: The missing "intelligent zoom" feature is really a negative aspect, I use this on my Iliad for nearly all PDF files. So I expected that feature on the DR800S too. |
