Is there a nice way to read a book like this easily with the iLiad:

http://worldebooklibrary.com/eBooks/Coradella_Collegiate_Bookshelf_Collection/huxley-bravenewworld.pdf ???

Or should I just forget it?

Could the continuous mode recognize formats like this in the future and
go like this:

LEFT, RIGHT, DOWN.... etc ?


(There are a lot of nice formatted books here:

I would do rotate to landscape, zoom and then pan... But have you tried Scotty's Java pdf-cutter...? http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7778

Why rotate ?

Just zooming and panning works perfectly, but means a lot of use of the stylus.

No, I did not try the pdf-cutter (yet)

I was thinking.

Go to the first page (second here).
zoom so that it looks great.

Use the flip-bar. In my opinion the program should do something like this:

Is more than 40% and less than 60% of the page-with of the document (to the right) off screen, then shift to the right and show that part.
Otherwise go to the left side of the next page.
