Zooming and panning is also not the same as zooming on the adobe reader. If the font on a PDF is too small to read on the KDX you can zoom it by 150, 200, 300%, or you can switch to landscape. Zooming does not reflow the larger text -- it just is pushed outside the viewable window -- so reading zoomed text requires frequent panning. On the DX 150% is often too much zoom -- would have been better on DX if had a 125% zoom. Landscape mode reading doesn't give you much on the page, but at least it's readable. On my KDX US reading in landscape mode is also noticeably slower.

For textbook/technical books I would say the PDF capabilities are not there yet.

Hope this helps
So is there any software to reformat PDFs, crop margins etc., specifically for the dx? That's the important question.
