It is very fast on iPad 4 and it almost instantly changes size of letters (about 8 possible levels) and distance between sentences(three levels).
I tried duokan on an iPad 3 and it is definitely satisfactory for real time reading in terms of speed--impressively fast, but it didn't always piece the words together quite correctly in the example I tried (see attachments from my source file that I posted earlier in this thread--duokan images are screenshots from an iPad 3; k2pdfopt images are from the default settings). I did not realize that duokan had the capability to graphically re-flow text. How long has duokan had this feature?
