903 How does PocketBook 903 perform with pdf with colors?

[Xosted]

Hi,

I am planning to buy a E-book reader and so far, the PocketBook 903 seems to be the best option for my usage. Before taking action, I would like to know how it displays PDF files with colors (something like BSD Magazine for example).
Images?text? is it still displayed in a readable/good enough way?

Thanks for sharing your experience

I just downloaded the BSD september issue to see how this reads.
Concerning the rendering of the pagesize, the PB903 displays the BSD Mag pdf's all right, although we can't neglect the ereader software being used on the 903. PdfViewer takes about 30 secs to load a page that is entirely (or for the greater part) made up from bitmap images.
AdobeViewer is a lot faster: every new page of a first time loaded pdf takes 2 or 3 seconds. So reading is quite good, as long as you know in what program to open this type of pdf's.

Readability of the pdf is like a colored file translated into B&W (duh), but I do not need an extra pair of glasses to read it. Except for some syntax code here and there, which is sometimes displayed in some vague light greyish tone as a result of syntax highlighting in the original text. Mainly considered it is OK, though these kind of presentations are typically ment for being read on a backlight type of screen.
