While I'd like to see the contrast better, the PL screen is still viewable. Furthermore, in terms of size, couldn't you display double pages on it? Mobi looks great in double-column or even triple-column mode on my long screen. eReader software will allow at least double columns. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if there were some kind of eReader port. Just my thoughts. Thanks for your own take! If nothing else, I'm glad you were able to get something out of the video, the photos and the rest. David The Hardly Infallible Thanks, Cerement.

Don't care if it's light and thin, it's just plain unwieldy. Guess it would be okay for corporate environments with tables and charts, but definitely not for reading (the line length of the text on that second pic is WAY too long).
