I believe two different developers have said on here that they would add it. Granted, iRex management doesn't have a good history with fulfilling promises, but for the most part the developers are pretty honest with us on here and generally don't make claims unless they know they'll be backed up.

That's assuming the company exists long enough.

What would "Page Flow" or "Continuous Mode" look like on the DR800?

I'm having a difficult time imagining how the scrolling screen behavior of continuous mode on the computer would improve readability on an e-reader. I'm fairly sure I've got the wrong idea in my head, and I'd appreciate being set straight.

I only ask, because I can't figure out if I should feel irritated or apathetic about its exclusion from my device.

Think of all the pages of a book glued to one another in a long roll of paper, with the bottom of page 1 glued to the top of page 2, and so on.

Therefore, when you scroll down a page using a stylus, when the reach the bottom of the current page you can keep on scrolling down with the style - the top of the current page move off the top of the screen and the top of the next page progressively appears from the bottom of the screen.

The advantage, of course, is that you can be displaying the bottom part of one page and the top part of another page, which makes things much easier when reading a paragraph that spans those two pages.

Ahh... Thanks for the explanation. I hadn't considered how that could mitigate awkward page breaks - especially when a table spans pages.
