MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Android PDF reader app which will eliminate margins

I just bought a Nexus 9 to replace my Nexus 7 as I found that I was reading a lot of technical PDF docs and the N7 screen was too small (plus I'm getting older/eyesight getting worse - now need reading glasses). Bummer as I really like the N7 form factor.

Anyways, I'm looking for a PDF reader which will eliminate the margins. I realize various readers will do text reflow, Acrobat Reader sucks as it throws away all illustrations. I guess there are others that do a better job but I was more interested in a reader that would just scale the image getting rid of top/bottom/left/right margins (as against one with a zoom lock).

I heard that ezPDF pro can do it but the UI is awful. I also heard that koreader could do it but it crashes at startup on N9 5.1.1 (dialog that it immediately stopped execution).

I don't need a lot of features, just basic gesture support to move forward/back a page and being able to remember the last page.

Thanks!
