PRS950 and PDFs
Hello all,
In addition to my Kindle 3G (a gift), I managed to get a PRS950 as well based on the reviews which I read and my disappointment with PDF support from the Kindle. Well, it turns out that while the PRS950 is an overall (IMHO) better device for me, it's not quite the PDF champ I was hoping for. In particular, I have these 3 problems, and I'm hoping there is a solution (I have the latest firmware):
a) Landscape mode scrolling does not align on line last read, meaning that I have to search for where to resume reading from. This is almost bitterly disappointing to me, because the Kindle3 does this well enough (but is crippled in others ways for PDFs). I doubt there is a workaround, but I have to ask.
b) Dictionary lookup not supported on all (text) PDFs. Does anyone know why? On some PDFs it works, on others it selects many groups of words. Is there something I can do about this? Could Adobe Reader Pro help?
c) Reflow sometimes breaks up whole words. Anyone know why, and what I can do about it? Again, this doesn't seem to be the case for all (text) PDFs.
Sorry if I come off being a bit disappointed, but as I expected, there is no champ reader for PDFs atm. Converting from PDFs to mobi/epub through Calibre results in all formatting being lost, so that doen't help me! Any solutions or insights would be appreciated.
