Device: pocketbook 360˚
I tried reflow, it was a mess. The usual physics article or textbook is near unreadable on this device.
I used the pocketbook 360 before that. The prs t-1 is in many respects better than the pocketbook, but pdf readability is better. Multiple columns display works in landscape and portrait.
It is much slower though and has no touchscreen.
I just hoped the T-1 would be at least as well as the pocketbook. Sadly, I was deceived.


But to come back to the problem: I think that the problem described by me is a bug. I do not see any reason why 2-column display works in portrait but not in landscape mode, and why cropping should be restricted to some region.
To insist on the cropping problem: of course the T-1 conserves aspect ratio. This is completely normal and should be that way. I am not complaining about that. I am complaining that the region to which I can shrink using cropping is too large: both automatic and manual cropping leave not only the white margins on both sides of the page, but in addition some more space. Cropping should just be completely manually adjustable (conserving aspect ratio). If the cropping would work as desired, one could have in landscape mode the letters of one A4 page cover the entire screen space from left to right, in which case approximately three screen heights would be could to display the entire text.


There is the possibiity that I am not using the correct switches though. I am happy to provide the pdfs if anyone wants to give them a shot.
