I saw that the Note and the Max 2 have a multi-tab option for pdf reading (I attached a image as example). It seems to let us open up to 4 pdf files at same time, tapping on each one's tab to switch between them. This would be a great advantage for me. Can you check if Nova also have this functionality?

Thank you!
Sorry to be late with my response. A dear friend died recently, so I've been a little distracted.

Yes, the Nova provides a better pdf reading experience than the Mars, but the Mars comes close. If you are only looking at pdf performance, then I can't say that the Nova is enough of an improvement to justify the price difference between the two devices. Other factors would make me choose the Nova - better overall performance, and better front light controls, to name only two.

The Nova weighs a little less than the Mars, which may help for long periods of reading.

The Mars has the advantage of a microSD card slot, so you could have more pdfs on your device - if that is important for you.

Either device will work much better for pdfs than a 6 inch display, because you get much more screen. You would do even better with something the size of a Note, but that is not in your price range.

I can't find a multi-tab option for viewing pdfs on my Nova. If anyone else has found it, please let us know.
