Pinch and zoom with PDF-reflow works very smooth. Reformatting takes place immediately. I have a PDF with heavy graphics (an issue of some PC mag). Turning a page on this PDF is less than a second (could take minutes on my InkPad 1). The graphics are very crisp and bright due to the higher resolution of the new machine:
- Inkpad 1+2: 8" E Ink® Pearl™ 1200 × 1600
- InkPad 3: 7.8" E Ink® Carta™ 1404 × 1872
I don't know if it's a bug, but pinch to zoom seems to work only onedirectional: Bigger font size works as expected, but smaller font size works only via menu (means: no zooming out - just zooming in). But the new inkpad has a dedicated hardware menu button, and changing font size via menu has no lags. It just reformats the moment you set the font size - without delay. So it's no big issue and literally only takes a second.
Yes, I'm really in love with this gadget.  |
Let me calm down a little that enthusiasm... I tested a multilayer PDF encrypted for edition and reflow does not work, takes about one minute to advance page and zoom is not so smooth...
With a 100 MB scanned PDF, it works little better but not much. With a normal PDF of about 100 KB is more or less usable.
However I agree with all other things. Screen is very crisp and clear, works reasonable fast with ePub (but not as fast as a Kindle, for example), and so.
