MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Classic PDF on the nook

LorenzL · 08-02-2010, 05:50 AM

When I bought the Nook, I was planning on viewing all those PDFs that had gathered on my laptop. For example I had downloaded the digital versions of a couple of Lonely Planet guides, magazines, etc.

It soon became obvious that there is no way to really view those PDFs properly on the nook. The screen is too small, there is no landscape mode, text reflow messes up most of the text. Even if the PDF is purely text, the conversion to epub via Calibre doesn't really work for me.

Do you think this is a software issue or is this just a problem we have to live with, because of the size of the Nook screen?
