Test PDF view favor
As what I really would like an e-reader for is to read a lot books that Google has scanned, I'd like to ask somebody with a Kindle (non-DX) to take a look at one or more sample books that I'll link to & tell me if they are very readable or not (in PDF). If no one is willing, I totally understand. I think these books were published in such a way that the size might work out alright on the Kindle - and the Kindle has a really unbeatable price point. Thank you so much if you're willing to load any or all of these books & tell me how they look.

Your PDF contains text only.. if you can get or convert it to other format, you will definitely get decent read, adjustable font size, etc.
Check some sample view / screenshot for PDF with images + tables here. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=99064 https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=98975 I had the same concern too for some PDF. But turns out those pdf are quite readable in K3. Kindle DX definitely have better viewing. |

Thank you aquawater - those links probably did as much as anybody looking at the actual books. paperwastage - google's OCR process is not always that great. :\
