magazines cant not be readable on my PRS 505

Hello PRS 505 fans,

Does anyone have any idea how can i display playboy and other magazines (pdfs with pictures) on my device ?
These magazines can not be readable on this device.
I mean the characters are too small to read

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance.

The 505 screen is designed for books only so it's very hard to read full size magazines. You can hold the zoom button for 5 seconds and view it portrait mode but I doubt it'll be any better.

For magazines get the Kindle DX.

Thanks Evi1d33d,

You are right. There are many mags with different quality. Im glad to say I could get some
mags with readable quality, so it is hard but not impossible.

Are you telling us you actually read Playboy and do not get it just for the pictures?
