Can someone help me understand how pdf works on the new kindle firmware?
I assumed that since I could previously convert pdf files to the .azw or .prc or .mbp that they must be text based.

I was excited to try out native pdf files on my new 2.3 us Kindle. Most however, have text that is too small to read.

I've not been able to increase the text size (without rotating the screen) and am unable to zoom in on the page (which would require scrolling).

Am I missing something or are all .pdf files going to be static "images" on the kindle screen?

Thanks.
