PRS-350 Keeping PDF Settings

Kralik · 11-27-2010, 02:22 AM

First time with my new Sony PRS-350, previously a jetBook user. I have a lot of PDF's that are custom formatted for the 5" JB and so far they seem to work well on the Sony. I want to view them in "Full Page" mode (Zoom-->Page Mode-->Full Page). However, I have found that if I exit the book and return, it will default back to "Original." Is there any way for it to save the zoom/page settings? Also, is there any way to have an individual book be saved as "landscape" while the menu and most other books are "portrait"?

Thanks!

I think the answer to both your questions is No.

It's still a great little reader, though. I hope you enjoy it.

In that case, does Sony often release firmware updates that might address these issues?

I wouldn't count on it! They tend to "improve" things in future models, not going back and updating existing ones -- previously, the PDF settings had to be reset for every page!

GAH!

I guess I should count my blessings then.
