Question about pdf viewing
I have been reading the iLiad postings for months now - I am very interested in this device, but have one specific use in mind. I am a scientist and want to use the iLiad to read scientific pdf files that I download from scientific journals. These pdf files are generaly formatted to print on 8.5 x 11 inch paper. Would these files be readable on this device?
Oliverbogler apparently did try to read a science pdf but indicated that zooming would be necessary and cropping of excess white space. This is a bit more work than desired to make the device really useful.
It is my impression, based on the videos and screen shots that I have seen, that zooming and navigating no a page would be a difficult way to read these files. Based on the photo of the first page of the paper posted by Oliverbogler, could it be that the zoom feature would could be controlled to just remove the white margin? Perhaps a "custom" program to reformat these pdfs could be created?
