I can use the zoom feature on the Kindle and get one page to look the way I want (as in full screen), but jumping to the next page goes back to tiny.

Unfortunately full screen view of .pdf pages is not very legible on a 6" device, so the approach PDFRead uses is to cut the .pdf page into sections that can then be cropped/enhanced to view on the 6" screen's aspect ratio.

Then each section is displayed as consecutive pages for that ONE .pdf page, and the process is repeated with all the rest of the .pdf pages.

There is no OCR going on that converts the .pdf text to ebook fonts that can be enlarged with the kindle reader. The only zoomimg available would be to zoom into an image/picture, not using the font sizes for ebook text.

I've tried a few different settings, but nothing really solved the problem. My next step was to set to the size H and V, but I cannot find any description as to which unit the size is (pixel? inch? cm? percent of full screen?).

The H stand for Horizontal pixel count and the V stands for Vertical pixel count, so a 600x800 display device would be H: 600 and V: 800. Please note that first dimension number (600) represents the width of the device left to right and the second dimension number (800) represents the height of the device's usable space top to bottom including any status bar area. This status bar height may then be deducted from your required dimension, so that the cropped area will fill up the usable space perfectly!

All I want is to have my PDF pages appear as pages on the Kindle exactly the way they show in the PDF. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Even on 7", 8" or 9" devices this cannot be done without some margin cropping or increased screen resolution/dpi. Don't be worried that a letter/A4 .pdf page cannot be squished into a 6" screen, it's just a natural limitation.

Just to stress, this tool is absolutely fantabulous!

Thanks, for a time, it was my only way to read scanned images, but with .pdf ebook reader support of larger eink devices like the iLiad or LCD devices like the Nook Color as well as android tablets, I find I rarely convert from .pdf and just use it natively!!!
