[eng.tarekeisa]

hi all
I need to read pdf in new paperwhite amazon freely like


in this they used a new system duokan to control pdf
I need to control pdf by duokan system or by other

I searched alot but I didn't find away in new papaerwhite 5.4.0
Is there any method to read pdf freely and control fonts like .mobi ??

if this is a PW2 question...

You will need a serial connection and plenty of time...
prepare to rip apart your device.

Assuming you could handle that. Then yes.
Otherwise. No.

If yes, I'm not sure if Duokan would run out of the box...

If ever a pure-software jailbreak fro the PW2 is found, I'm sure Duokan will copy it to their software without asking. So either do the manual work (experience needed!) as twobob said - or wait, maybe even forever.

Do you have a video to explain this ??

If you bought the Kindle specifically as a PDF reader, I think you made a mistake in doing so. No eInk device with a 6" screen makes a good PDF reader, although some are less bad than others.

Most PDFs are formatted for an A4/Letter page size, so a large (10") tablet is the ideal reader for them. An iPad with the "Goodreader" app makes a superb PDF reader, although obviously it's rather more expensive than a PW.

With Koreader installed and reflow ON, even with technical pdf, Kindle IS a nice PDF reader instead. Great reflowing algorithm, you should give it a try.

But now PW2 isn't jailbreakable, so...

Reflowing works fine with text - where it tends to have problems is with PDFs with non-textual content such as graphs and equations. That's why my personal preference is to read PDFs on my iPad, where I can read pages in their original size without the need for reflow.

Man, you gotta improve your shopping skills:

Apple iPad with Retina Display MD510LL/A (16GB, Wi-Fi, Black) 150usd (plus shipping).

Where can you buy a 3rd gen iPad for $150?

Harry, you are talkin about Duokan maybe... Try Koreader! I'm studing "University Physics and Moder Physics" on it: graph, formula are reflowed beautifully.

No video available, lots of technical skill required.

Do not unpack the device, return it.
The Gen(2) Paperwhite is not the device you want for this job.

I'm not talking about any specific product - just my previous frustration with trying to read technical PDFs on many different small-screen devices, which is why I now use an iPad for the job instead. I'm very pleased to hear that "Koreader" does handle the task well.

[Aeris]

I understand, had same frustation fro loooong time too...
