The PDF viewing demo videos on YouTube make me glad I didn't pre-order based on any hope of even occasional PDF viewing. Makes the lack of an SD card completely moot at least, as it seems ideal for reading epub.

If and when it is 1) built to run one the One and 2) stable running on the One.
If the H2O launch is any indication, it will run on the One very quickly but it will take months before it is stable enough to be able to use it for anything resembling work... |

There's still the more fundamental problem, though, that eInk devices have rather slow CPUs compared with modern tablets, and this will inevitably make rendering a complex PDF slow.

Slow-ish as in e-ink slow would be fine, but Kobo slow is something else. That video comparing it to the pocketbook inkpad (which has a lesser processor package) is painful.

Generally true but Koreader (or even the Kindle PDF reader) shows that it is quite feasible. Most readers don’t need to pan around files all day, just a nice way to view and annotate one and two column PDFs, something that Koreader is quite capable of (and I would assume that Kobo could easily fork that engine and add some bells and whistles, after all, they are selling PDFs in their shop)...
