how fast are scientific pdfs on 903?

pietro · 02-07-2011, 06:26 AM

I am a newbie and would like to buy a pb903 not only to read books but to use to carry with me all the scientific pdfs as well as university committee papers so I don't have to print them out.

The question is how fast would I be able to browse through a pdf? In a typical meeting I have some 2-3 pdf each with 50-100 pages each, 1-2 MB each pdf, no figures. Will I be able to browse through the pages to find the fight one or all my colleagues with a printout will be faster than me? I don't want to avoid being clumsy with a reader but could not find in the technical specs how long it take to turn a page of a typical pdf with no figures. That's why I am starting a new forum.

Just to reiterate, I am interested in the speed only to find the exact page browsing though a document. Not because I read so fast!

Any of you is using this reader for meetings and can give me his/her impressions?
thanks
pietro

Welcome!

The pdfs that I am using have figures and less pages, so I don't know the answer. But if you attach a pdf as example in a post I could test it.

I don't know if this helps but you can review 4 or 9 pages at a time with portrait mode. With landscape mode, it'll be 2 or 6 pages. I have 902, so it's not exactly the same as 903, but someone with a 903 can help me confirm or refute this.
