Who wrote this ullage? When you say you were “weary” when you first heard the iRiver story, instead I guess you meant you were wary, unless of course you were tired from having had to write so much drivel!!

Had this reader for a short time and the screen developed a fault, where only half the screen would show writing. I sent it to Singapore’s McCoy Pte Ltd for repair as it was still under warranty and they replied a week later saying that the vendor said it was a customer developed fault and I would have to pay $200 and wait for 8 weeks for repairs or buy a new one from them for $300.
What a disappointment!! To my knowledge there is no way that I could have damaged the screen.
I replied to McCoy saying that I would not throw good money after bad.
Maybe, you can learn from my experience with iRiver Story. If it goes faulty, the chances are they will say it is a customer related fault, even though you registered the unit.

Does it zoom or reflow PDFs? — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:06:17 +0000

Hi,

I’d like to know if this reader can zoom PDF documents or enlarge the font size and reflow the text. I’m very interesting on it, but don’t want to read a whole page of my PDFs in such a little screen.

Thanks

The thing I'm looking for in an e-reader is that I can read newspapers, blogs and things like that on it (and I don't think I'm alone in that). All these readers you seem to be reviewing seem much smaller than I'd need for reading these kind of publications or big PDFs etc. If you wrote an article on bigger screen readers I'd be interested in what you recommend.

hi!

I was just wandering how good is the PDF support on the Iriver Story? I am thinking about buying it because of all my school books which are heavy 3D imaging books which are normally 300-500 pages big and every book comes with a CD rom which has a PDF version of the book… So I want to safe space and time by just buying a good looking ebook reader, good enough to handle PDFs which are heavy on the images…

Thanks a lot and Ill keep reading!
