Pretty neat, the latest ones even have 3G connectivity (US only for now, they're working on covering Europe as well). What's particularly cool about their readers is that they run on Linux and allow customization and installing / developing of applications. Gr.

If you need the screensize, the Kindle DX is the only real choice (and does support .pdfs) until the PRS-900 comes out (and it has a different screen proportion which IMO isn't going to be as serviceable as the Kindle DX's). I have a Sony PRS-505 which has the same size as the Sony PRS-600, and while it's workable for re-flowable text, and quite nice for text which have been especially formatted for its screen size (excellent example here: http://people.umass.edu/klement/russell-imp.html ), for any technical material w/ charts or figures which one wants to refer to along w/ the matching text, it's sub-optimal. They're both great units and the main reason I chose the PRS-505 over a 1st generation Kindle is that the latter wouldn't fit in my (rather large) shirt pockets.

[NTG-context] titlepage without page number
Hi! I guess this is a faq, but I didn’t find a way to do it … I want to use pagenumbers in the headings, but no pagenumber on the title page. I try it with: \setupheadertexts[] \setupheadertexts[\setups{header left}][pagenumber][pagenumber][\setups{header right}] \setupfooter[][] \startsetups[header right] \hfill \getmarking[chapter] \stopsetups \startsetups[header left] \getmarking[section] \hfill \stopsetups which gives me the headers I want. (Although I don’t understand why I have to specify the pagenumber two times) But on the titlepage, there is still a number, when I use it with the title module and say: \setuptitle[ page=no, title=…, header=empty, footer=empty ] \startfrontmatter \placetitle \stopfrontmatter I guess, I’m doing somthing wrong, but I cannot figure out what. And btw: Is there a possibility to just print the pagenumber?

Another thing to document, I already forgot who it works. \setupletterstyle [option] [backaddress=yes] This setting is not necessary because most elements are enable by default, you could also drop the first bracket pair for global parameters. \setupletterstyle [backaddress] [bottomframe=on] \setupletterstyle [backaddress] [alternative=yes, % default: no bottomframe=on] For alternative you can select between: - no : no content for the backaddress - yes : use 'fromname' and 'fromaddress' - auto : check if there is text in the 'backaddress' key, if not then use 'fromname' and 'fromaddress' The separator between each element in the backaddress can be changed with \setupletterstyle [backaddress] [separator=...] the default value is ', ' (comma + space).
