Just to make sure: I understand that either PDF on K3 screen fills up the whole screen (which makes it tiny) or after enlarging in has to be scrolled from left to right and back, which makes it very inconvenient to read, right?
Secondly: what is the difference between ‘genuine’ mobi, and mobi obtained from pdf? As I understand: they are both convenient to read on K3 (they reflow), but one converted from PDF might loose tables and figures, right? Anything else?
Thirdly….
Do you refer to epub, PDF, or both?
What do you mean by 'too tiny'? If you are able to convert to native format (like mobi), then words should reflow and there should be no problem of screen size, no?
By directly you mean native Kindles way? So, in that case you might be forced to scroll left and right ?
And, yes, it's interesting, how do you crop it?
Well, I think that next year I will buy a tablet anyway. I suspect there will be loads of them on the market and prices will fall. So, that will be a ‘full size reader’. Because of that I prefer to get a portable device now; one with e-Ink for eyes convenience, long battery life, etc. Moreover I reckon that 3G and wifi are super, and as far as I know DX doesn’t have both.
So, I would prefer sticking to K3.

I mean that when I put a PDF on the kindle 3 with no conversion, the print's too tiny. If I do a conversion to mobi I can read it fine, it's just that PDFs won't always convert properly.
