Hi,
I am very glad to hear that someone is working on a better PDF support for Kindle. The duokan's reader is good, but it would be great if we have an open source one that we could make even better.
Actually the last week I cross-compiled poppler and tested the poppler-qt4viewer demo on my DXG. It works ok, but is noticeably slower than both the stock reader and Duokan. I wonder if the reason is in the demo itself (as far as I can see it uses a rather dumb method to update the page images) or the Qt/Embedded screen driver(I am using the one that comes with fbKindle).
What are your impressions of muPDF so far? I tried to compile it on my desktop, but for some reason it refuses to render properly some PDFs. For example, for
this one all pages are blank.
