It seems that there are a bunch of MR's with this one :-).

So, I have some questions for all of you (hope somebody can answer some of them):

1. Can you put books in it from Mac or Linux?

2. The PDF plug-in installs in the PC application or in the device? If it's in the application, it would be worthless for a Linux user, nope?

3. Have you investigated what changes the PDF plugin does to the PDF so that it's viewable in the device? Feasibility of doing that with a home-grown app (in Mac/Linux)? (Ehm, can someone pass me a "original" PDF and it's processed version to anable me to analyse them? Thanks)

4. [S]About the video capabilities, anyone here has been able to view a video file in it?[/S] Ok, I've now read all the thread and 'ha seen that Azayzel managed to put videos in it. Do they look good?

And that is it for now. Thanks for your answers :-b.
