Could somebody do me the favour and make a picture of PRS-505 displying the enclosed pdf? I read a lot of technical stuff and therefore I am affraid that the graphics will not be visible enough on the reader. therefore it would help me a lot to see it in advance.

Unfortunatelly Im from europe. therefore have no possiblity to try it by my self in some store in US.

Thanx
I downloaded your file. Loading it into the 505 as a pdf file with no problems.
The text is so small in the S (Smallest or Standard) mode that it is impossible to read with the naked eye or with a magnifying glass. can make it out. In the M (Medium) font size you can barely make it out with a magnifying glass. I would judge this as useless.

Running your pdf through libprs500 produced a smaller file that could easily be read except the formatting of tables was gone, formulas became useless to decipher and, overall, except for straight forward text, was pretty bad.

I know you would like to see a picture but, honestly, there is not much to photograph that woulds show up. Sorry.

I have a couple of books in pdf format and they all are useless when loading directly into the 505. The text is too small to read! If all the book or document is just text, then using libprs500 produces a suitable read.
