Thanks for making my more broke:)

At the moment, I use qpdf on the Zaurus for reading pdfs, as the C860 still has one of the nices screens to read on that I’ve ever encountered.

The U, with its transflective screen, might work nice as well. I’ll install Acrobat and tell you what I think. (I’m not a big fan of it as-is either.)

I have never felt comfortable using it for ebooks but maybe I’m not setting it up optimally.

Most Adobe apps seem to work fairly seamlessly on the U as well. Photoshop does a good, hearty job of course, but the U seems to hold its own with more intense apps like Premiere as well. Surprising and welcome.
