How is latest generation of kindle working with pdf. Does it have better reflow?


Thanks

There's still no reflow.

K3 add support for password protected PDFs, text annotation and highlighting, and has a contrast adjustment. The latter might help with images, and color text, etc.

A couple of months ago they added PDF zoom/pan to K2/DX models. So that might be a new feature for you as well.

Still missing these PDF-related features:
- reflow
- link support (for TOC navigation etc.)
- 'search my items' does not include text in PDFs (beyond metadata - if you have the PDF open you can search text inside that)
- it remains to be seen whether any pre-existing PDF annotations will be editable, or if annotations added by Kindle will be viewable by other PDF viewers.
