Wouldn't you still have to push the button? I mean, how would the iLiad know there was an update if you don't push the button? Pre-scheduled checks? Maybe it means you don't have to turn it on and off to get the update to run all the way through?

Some clarification would be nice, even if it is academic for me, personally.

I would say "automated" means, once you start updating, the iliad installs, restarts and loads further additions all by itself. No need to press the update button several times or manually reboot the iLiad.

I'm glad the PDF zooming and panning made it in time. I will have to grab this pretty soon.

I think this is new to Matchbox though... Vision Objects partnership finally pays off.

No indication of zoom area
According to the user guide, when you drag the stylus to choose the zoom area, there's supposed to be an indication of the selected area. I'm seeing nothing.

Has anyone else had success with this?

Note that the zoom does work pretty well. It's just a bit painful running blind.

Does anyone know what the leftmost icon in PDF view is?
It looks like a little tag ... a la the kind of thing they stick on corpses' toes in the morgue ... but I've not found anything in the documentation to say what it does.

I'll experiment for myself, but if anyone else works it out, please share.
