i had both versions of the kindle 4 (touch and non touch). both were horrible when viewing pdfs from my professor.

i had to zoom in to view the small text, and the kindle makes it very difficult to do that. its just way too slow.....

has anyone tried the new light up Kobo Glo. i saw a video of the zoom and slide function and it was VERY FAST compared to the kindle paper white.
