- some of my pdf documents visible on the kindle don't show in the list of documents browsed in duokan

What I like in Duokan is "manual trim", which you see in the Aa menu when viewing your pdf. It will only work in "normal view" (not in "smart layout").
When you select manual trim, you can then use the 5-way to move a cross on the left margin as close to text as possible, then push select, and the cross will move to the lower right to select top and bottom margin trim. Settings will be saved for that pdf. You have to leave a little space on the bottom margin for the location bar.
Another nice thing is that you can select landscape mode for a pdf, and your home page, etc., will stay in portrait mode. The setting will be saved for your pdf. If you use manual trim while in landscape mode, you get really excellent results. Of course, you can't set top and bottom margins, because landscape mode scrolls. But you wind up with no margins at all, and really big, readable type.
