PRS-T1 how come sony T1 does not have PDF flow?

FinancialWar · 03-18-2012, 07:14 PM

the same pdf file can be flowed in onyx boox m92, but can not be flowed on the t1, why is that?

Because they're perfectionists who refuse to release anything that's half-assed?

This might be an interesting article that will answer your question in part to why most ereaders are not designed to display PDF document files.

I guess only someone who has used a M92 and a T1 would understand, I guess

The Sony T1 can do PDF text reflow. Did you try to adjust the font size to be larger? Were you in a special view mode setting that prevents reflow? I think there probably aren't that many people with both an M92 & a T1. Also, it's hard to know how your specific PDF was produced unless it were public domain and you were willing to share it for someone to help analyze.

Not really. PDF files are documents, not ebooks and the author of this article went into specifics to why PDF files are endangered species.

Personally I think PDF documents are still a valid format as used for their intended purpose.

One of the major reasons I purchased a tablet was to read reference PDF material.
