PRS-900 Single page in landscape mode?

leonardfrye · 03-25-2010, 08:18 AM

Thinking about getting a 900 and I have one question. All the pictures I've seen show the 900 displaying 2 pages while in landscape mode. Is there a setting to tell it to display only one page in this mode?

Yes, that's what it does by default. It's the 2-page view that is special. For PDFs, this lets you view an A4 page at pretty much full-width in 3 chunks, which I find can be useful for reference works, but for reading I prefer to reflow in portrait and put up with slightly odd formatting.

There's a very comprehensive review here. Look 6:51 into the video to see landscape. There's also a second video of comics and PDFs.
