Well, Les, I appreciate the suggestion, but it is brand new and has the latest operating system.

The problem is most noticeable to folks like me who often use JPEG-based .pdf files. As you know, before you zoom in, you have the prettiest little miniature image on your screen you ever saw, but it is not readable. When you zoom in to where the type (or music) becomes readable, there are artifacts that make it almost illegible -- certainly not easy to read in any case.

Plus, there are .pdf files I've received in my short time of use that would not open, and I've heard many others complain of the same thing.

Lastly, because I would like to open my .pdf files from a third-party app, I would prefer a reader that works in tune with all apps, not just email.

Thanks for the input, though. :)

John
