Hi All,

I just picked up a mini with the hopes of handing either the Mini or my beloved PRS 650 to my grandma to read.

We both read Chinese extensively, and at my level of technical expertise (or a lack thereof), that means tons of PDFs.

The PDFs worked beautifully for Sony's 6 inch screen, but somehow is VERY very unreadable on the Kobo mini. I have to zoom in and move around the page to navigate the PDF.

My question is, is there a way to make PDF reading more ideal on the Mini? Anything I can use to convert my PDFs for the 5" screen maybe??

Thanks all for your input.

While I LOVE how the Mini handles english books, if I can't make Chinese reading work, I will probably have to return it...

I'm depressed just thinking about it.

Edited to add:

I am currently trying:
the K2pdfopt
and https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=149071
