Is there any way to zoom PDF 105%

scientist1642 · 12-12-2011, 03:16 AM

Hi there, I own kindle 4 NT version, and while reading a PDF in a landscape mode, kindle leaves a little area outside a page and many PDFs have noticeable large margins. So it would be great if i can zoom a little more in (105% - 110%) and not 150% 200% and 300% as it only support.

Hi,

There's some way to get rid of margins before uploading the files on your kindle. Are you on mac or pc ?

wass Yep, I agree, but in this case a black borders outside a content will be annoying while reading. it will be too close to letters. If i can disable these lines somehow this way should work.

You can set cropping area manually. Try briss.

Easy way to read PDF is use Cailbre to convert them to MOBI. Then sideload them to the kindle.....then adjust to your settings & Enjoy!

briss is the absolutely best in term of cropping. Duokan can squeeze that one last margin out and also turn page without flash, even on PDFs.

But on a 6", you probably better off with mobi. It's a shame to lose all the beauty of a real book. Go DX!

Agree, converting only has a point when the book is "only letters" type. I'm loosing all diagrams and formulas.

and yeh DX is very good at this job. I would buy it if it were under 200$
Thanks everyone for replying, but I still think that PDF can be more readable on 6" kindle when black borders are removed.
