Duokan for me is so far just works for changing the device date in case I have to reboot (my kindle refuses to connect to my WiFi, without Duokan I probably would have sent it back already since with the wrong date the newest books always end at the end of my book list).
For reading books Duokan is not usable since too many letters (especially German umlauts) do not appear at all or are displayed with a completely wrong font.
I agree PDF rendering is better in Duokan than in Kindle itself, but then again my opinion is that you need a way bigger display (bigger than Kindle DX) to read most PDFs, so better still means "not usable" here too.
I'm still searching for a tablet device where I can easily read musical sheets...

What is syllabication?
Yes, I agree that Kindle is too small for pdf, but at least Duokan can reflow the text (however badly), and even in normal mode, pdf's can be quite readable rotated. After many attempts using programs like ABBYY reader to OCR pdf's and convert them to html for editing, then converting them to mobi, I have given up on large books in pdf like the Oxford Book of American Verse, because making the table on contents alone is a mammoth task.
Is there any reason that the cursor doesn't work in fbKindle? Is this because Launchpad doesn't support it?
