I just want to zoom into the text so all the text is on the page, instead it's small. If I zoom in, the margins are off and you're zooming around the page (i.e. it's unreadable).

Am I just SOL and need another tablet?


i think Koreader was okay but I've run into too many issues on my ereader where I constantly have to reinstall it, so I've been using nickel but it sucks at pdfs. Is there any solution you'd recommend?
Hmmm.... Kobo's ereaders are intended for reading reflowable ebooks not fixed format print replica ebooks (i.e what pdf is intended to be). I do keep quite a few tech manuals on my Kobos but as backup to an iPad Pro or my laptop.

So my advice is to buy a large screen tablet with a screen that is a fairly close match to either letter or A4 (~ 36cm or 14" diagonal) and enjoy reading pdfs. Works a treat until you run into a foldout diagram which was a folded up A1 size sheet in the original print manual.
