Is there any sophisticated way to do it?

I use Duokan with my DXG.
Using the font size key (
AA) in Duokan allows you to access several options, including zoom to 100, 110, 120, 130, and 140%, or you can zoom to fit the width or the height of the page to the screen. There is also a means to manually trim files that have wide margins and to zoom to a selected area. Both use crosshair positioning that is very slow.
You can also select column and comic book modes and smart layout that reflows the file with varying results depending on how the original document was created.
You can also select the page orientation- Duokan doesn't handle the auto reorienting that the normal Kindle firmware does.
There is also a zoom that is accessible using the "menu" button, but there is no indication of zoom level, just zoom in and zoom out.
The shift-space captures screen shots.
Here's a pdf page that is set to fit the height of the page to the screen:
Here's the menu you get by using the
AA key:
Here's the custom zoom menu (100, 110, 120, 130, and 140%):
Here are the crosshairs that you get when you select the manual trim and region zoom options. Holding the 5-way knob to one side moves the crosshair by 1 (?) pixel at a time and takes 40 sec to traverse the width of the screen. Holding the shift button down and using the 5-way steps the crosshair across the screen in about 5 seconds.:
Here's the result of that manual trim- this result is applied to all pages of the document:
Here's the comic book layout menu (that Duokan has mislabeled "Two-Col"):
Here's the 2 column mode menu (that Duokan has mislabeled "Comic"):
Here's what you get when you select "smart layout". Note, I haven't tweaked the font size so it's a little crummy:
In smart layout you can select the font and size, etc. Reflowing this book reorganizes all the text but the images no longer appear in the reflowed version, so the reflow is really going to be best for text only pdf files.
