@captainralf: ok, done the little test. Adobereader makes a mess of the physics file, while pdfviewer is ok. Search: adobeviewer took about 55 second (I was counting in my head ) to complete the search of the word "neuron": the words are visualised in the column, and if you tap on them you are sent to the relevant page. In Pdfviewer the same search took less than three seconds (if that), and all words are shown highlighted already in the page. Bear in mind, though, that there is still an important bug in pdfviewer, namely that in landscape mode you cannot move from the top part of the page to the bottom part - so for the time being we are stuck in portrait mode. EDIT: below the internal pictures of the files - first the physics in Adobeviewer, then the same in pdf viewer. Next two pictures are search mode and corresponding page in Adobeviewer, and the following two same thing for pdfviewer. Final picture is one page in pdfviewer with minimal zoom - non very visible. As for light, what I meant was that whatever light is fine for a paper book, is also fine for the PB903, at least for me. Last edited by paola; 05-07-2011 at 04:31 PM. |

![]() Unless I have a malicious program on my computer, I do know and can decide how much information to share. Besides that, the kindle is not off the table for me, I was hoping if you or somebody else owning a kindle DX has the time, he or she could share screenshots of the pdfs in post #14, so I can compare what's going on with what Paola provided.

![]() ![]() ![]() SOOO much paola! This is really great and will help me for sure to make a better choice. Quote:

![]() Cheers EDIT: @paola: I was just wondering in the second picture, the page title barely shows, is that an error in the screenshot or did it show like that? Last edited by captainralf; 05-09-2011 at 09:15 AM. |

Yes! Like some other readers, the pocketbooks have a sensor so that the page orientation turns as you turn the device.
I cannot remember, I will double check and let you know. At any rate, my device is running on the alpha version of the latest firmware, which is still experimental. The most stable version is 2.0.4, which won't give you note taking (well, only a basic function: you can select a portion of the text, which is saved as a note, and you can edit the note's title and add some text), but where there are no problems in moving between the top and bottom areas of the page you are zooming. |

If you disable synchronization of bookmarks, highlights, etc., I don't think that the Kindle reports them, because there'd be no need to. I have it disabled, because my husband and I both read the same books on 2 Kindles, and we don't want the "last page read" or notes copied onto both Kindles.

![]() it was really generous of you to follow up on this. I am however a little reluctant to go for a pocketbook, as I might have issues reading my physics books... maybe I should wait for the Onyx to be released and then order both and keep the one that's better. Well, if you are ever in Germany Paola, I think you earned yourself a big old german beer or sth ![]() Thanks everybody else for your suggestions as well! I might ask around the kindle subforum if somebody is willing to test out my files. Cheers |

![]() ![]() ![]() everybody again for your advise! I pre-ordered the Onyx with the option to return it within 7 days and it's supposed to ship around the 9th of June. They have postponed the date once already... so we'll see about that ![]() When it arrives, I'll post a full report on how great or not it is! cheers |

@captainralf
The formulas in physics.pdf got mixed up in KDXG. P.S.: was just playing with v3.2.1 on KDXG. I would consider KDXG for scientific papers only if you're ready to install the Duokan firmware. Last edited by eLiNK; 05-27-2011 at 11:12 AM. |
