Hedley, I use my Barnes & Noble Nook (original, non-color version) every day. It's great for reading text, but graphics handling is terrible. Mainly, you can't zoom in on a graphic to see any details. If a graphic is larger than the screen, it is automatically shrunk to fit and that is all you get. It reads PDF and ePub natively and I use Calibre to convert other formats.

I am particularly interested in acquiring an ePub reader on which you can pin a graphic so that you can read the explanatory main text by scrolling around the pinned graphic. That is, I have a diagram of how double clutch gearbox works and I want to pin this diagram so I can refer to it while reading the accompanying main text. The alternative would be to keep scrolling back and forth from diagram to text. Another clumsy alternative might be setting two bookmarks, one on the diagram and another (constantly moving) bookmark at the current point in the text. Has anyone got any opinions on the best eReader and why they consider it so for their purposes? There is a comparison chart on Wikipedia which leads me to think that all of them are pretty average, particularly if you don't want to be locked into an Amazon Whispernet or Apple iTunes to purchase and download books. Regards, Hedley P.S. Hi to all after a long absence.
