PRS-950, PDF windowing?

bhunah · 12-06-2010, 11:30 AM

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to get a good reader for reading scientific journal articles. I'm leaning pretty heavily on the PRS-950 because it seems the easiest to markup, and big enough to see what's going on. But I have a few questions:

Does this reader have the ability to create two side-by-side windows on the same pdf? For example, could I have half the screen show an image from the pdf, while the other half shows some text describing the image (which may be a few pages away). Perhaps it's too early for this kind of thing, but just wondering.

What kind of outputs from the notes and highlights can be taken off the reader? For example, can you output a bullet-point list of all the highlighted text in a pdf?

The other big readers (kindle, pocketbook) seem like they are worse at text markup, right?

Cheers,
Luke

While the 950 can show two-column they must be on the same page. You can not have page 12 and page 20 on the same split-screen. No reader is capable of doing so.
