Can anyone post a picture/video/comment about viewing scientific pdf's (e.g. Nature, Science, etc...)?

Does one have to do any conversion before?

Does the iliad rescale the A4 page to fit A5?

Thanks,

Alex
Me too - a few weeks ago Henrycat, who was among the first to get an early test version (same hardware, several software versions ago) tried out a PNAS paper for me, and reported that the readability was good - i.e. the figs looked fine. PDF reader zoom is likely to be important, and I think that is comin soon, if it is not already there. The rotate feature has also been discussed, though not promised, perhaps. That would be great. When I get mine (am in the US, order #500) I will post pictures with scientific papers - if you have a specific one you want to see, post/PM me the PMID.
