So, I guess I found the root of what's making me indecisive about Libra/Forma... or any at all. I'm leaning to the Libra, mainly because I don't like all the negative hardware reviews on the forma. That said ---

It's how PDFs are handled.

My only worry (since the beginning) is reading PDF on Libra.
I've seen plenty of MAnga videos with the Libra, and it's mainly fine. Good.
But, PDF.....

I mentioned this somewhere but didn't get an answer...

Even on my PC, when reading a PDF, you have to pull the PDF (image) to center in the screen. When you scroll or pull it down, it can move left and right, AND when you turn the page it looses it's page positioning and you have to line the sides and top up in the screen all over again.

I'm assuming it's the same way on the eReader? and if so, is there ANY way to correct this? Is there some kind of Fit to Screen that will retain it's position (centering) after a page turn?

I thought it might not be a problem on the Forma because the screen was bigger, but my PC is 23" and does it, so I'm guessing it's how the software manages it.

Does Forma handle this better, or is it the same on Both?
If so, is there a way to make PDFs stay "centered" in the screen through page turns?
Help ?
