Gen3 Gen3 - Which FW for PDF reading?

Hokum · 02-27-2011, 11:32 AM

Hello,

haven't been using my Gen3 for a while now, and I want to update its FW. I'm not sure however which FW I should use. PDF reflowing is still not there if I read correctly, and the 2.1 does not offer margin cropping anymore, which seems useful for that.

Thanks for your help and experiences.

Use 2.0, 2.1 removes margin cropping, as you said. 2.0 has a bug where no metadata gets read out of files, I don't remember if that applies to PDF as well, though.

ok, thanks.

do we have any news if pdf reflowing will come. I know the promised it at some point... did they give officially up on that?

I have no idea. I don't even know if the Gen3 is supposed to get any further updates.
