Question about Adobe Digital Editions on DR.

[ExtraSF]

My Question is: If the availability of Adobe Digital Editions will improve speed of .pdf file handling on the DR100S - namely, large .pdf's with pictures? (The reader seems to be very slow dealing with those at the moment).

I would also like to report a bug, namely, when reading handling .mobi files, the reading application sometimes crashes and has to leave the document - which is really bad, because when i open the book again, it doesn't remember where it left.

Hopefully, but we'll have to wait and see. Nobody outside of iRex has gotten to try the new viewers yet, as far as I know. The DR800 will probably be the first time customers get to see them. I'm assuming that Adobe PDF libraries would be more optimized than the poppler open source libraries, but you never know. Some of it, especially with large/complex pictures could just be a limitation of the CPU/memory.

If the performance of Adobe Reader compared to the open source alternatives is anything to go by, then, I am not so confident.
