Duokan and DXG

I tried Duokan for it's supposedly great pdf rendering but found that files such as "The Call of Cthulu" graphic novel with multiple grey shades, which renders fine in the Kindle pdf viewer, looks almost completely black in Duokan. I tried adjusting the grey scale settings in Duokan but could see no discernible difference. Maybe in a future release....

Otherwise pdfs in Duokan were fine, but I didn't find any huge improvements over the DXG's handling of pdfs. Duokan allows use of TOC in pdfs that have one, and epub and chm support are nice to have so I'll keep Duokan.

I think the large screen on the DXG makes a lot of the Kindle pdf problems go away. Most pages are readable just fine without any zoom and simply rotating the device sideways provides adequate magnification to read small text in diagrams without resorting to selecting zoom from menus.
