It does display color image files, just not in color. The screen is one of those e-ink ones that is only black and white, but it will display images from the pdf. Page breaks can be a little funky depending on how the pdf file was created. It deosnt render each page as a page the way a pdf viewer on the computer does- it takes the text and shows it on the screen, so one 8.5 x 11 page may be shown over 3 or 4 screens. It is what it is. Its not a computer, but if you mainly want to view documents it does it. I like storing downloaded manuals for equipment I use at work so i have a whole library easily with me instead of having to go find or download and print them when I need them. I also like putting instructions or how tos for fixing computer problems on it so I can read the instructions on the nook while I work on the computer, that way I can keep the instructions handy even if I need to reboot or login/logout etc. Hope that all is helpful. If you go to Barnes and Noble they have one you can use as a demo to see what it is and how it works.
