I am no PDF guy, I only have a few of both types, more that originated as scans than others. Up until Koreader on the AuraHD, I would have said trying to read scanned PDFs on a smaller than 10" screen was a very bad idea.

The various menu options let you adjust almost any of them so that they are easily navigated and read. For some you may need to make some adjustment to a number of options and find the best interaction for them.

I guess you would start with the gear tab in the bottom menu and set reflow and maybe word gap. You will probably have to reset the font size after turning reflow on. Then I would go to the top menu second tab from the left and set/switch zoom mode. Then back to the bottom menu and the third tab from the left to select page margin and line spacing. Last might be the second tab from the left for Page Crop, (Auto or Semi-auto have been all I ever needed).

Just tapping the screen moves me through the reflowed pages of scanned manuals and magazines.

FM4-25 the First Aid manual is a good example of a well scanned PDF, that looks great on the AuraHD. The large number of illustrations look fantastic.

Army Manuals mostly in PDF

Luck;
