Can some plz test this pdf?
Contrary to some others advice, I'm considering getting this to primarily view pdf's (specifically those that are computer related that might have screenshots, charts etc).
The typical advice is get an Ipad but it's still very pricey and otherwise would have to wait for a newer device. I was considering this (a libre actually) or a kobo. If anyone can look at this (or maybe even take a pic with a camera!) on the their jb/libre it would be greatly appreciated. It's a small section of a vba book, that has had the pages split (with sopdf) and then I chopped out just a few pages of it. IF anyone could tell me how good (or bad) this is in landscape mode that would be great. Stuff like readability, is panning needed from side to side or does it just fit. sopdf seems to vary in how wide it things a page is sometimes so I'm curious if that throws off going from page to page on a reader and always having to recentre. I'm thinking on either getting this today, or a kobo, or the cinpal pmp and convert all my pdfs to jpgs, or just holding off for a more appropriate device. However, I have a need for this type of device now and might just get one anyway as they are relatively cheap. But if it's a total bust with pdfs, why waste the money. |

Note: All photos are of the first 4 page turns. And yes, the side of my screen is messed up.
On my Libre (with version v0.17d firmware) with reflow on and in portrait view, readability is good for the first few pages but then starts messing up and the images are split.... Last edited by MR. Pockets; 07-26-2010 at 12:54 AM. |

...With reflow off and zoom to "full screen", readability is great but the PDF is sideways (orientation is portrait but looks like landscape). In this setup reading it is quite easy...

...With reflow off and in landscape mode, it is confusing and readability is poor. (With reflow off, if zoom is not set to "full screen", a slight amount of panning is needed.)
P.S. Sorry if this is confusing and for the not-so-great photos. |

The image that is split in the PDF is also split on the Libre but it is split vertically, not horizontally. (It isn't even split like the PDF has it split.)
This only happened when viewing landscape mode with reflow on. |
