I've attached a sample PDF if someone can try it out.

I'd also be interested in knowing how it renders when converted to an .azw file.
I don't have a DX but I tried the doc on my K3. Manually turning the doc to landscape creates a good image but with small lettering, of course. The DX should be acceptable because it has nearly 3X the screen space of the K3. Converting? When you convert the document, it forces it to reflow. I tried it and reflowing does NOT work very well. Like many PDF conversions, it created a jumbled mess. If you get a DX, turning it sideways automatically changes the view to landscape. Good luck!
