not a kindle.
their stupid idea to make it just small enough to not fit a page from a pdf, and the completely broken scrolling killed it. even tried the larger one. same problem.
they may have prevented the two people that would have read a pirated pdf of a novel instead of buying it from amazon. but it cost them the entire academia market.
- csydas 10y agoIt's hit or miss, but sometimes Calibre's conversions for native formats is pretty good at getting the conversion+scaling right. My partner is a chemist and she's had a lot of luck with various ACS publications rendering right after a conversion
- gcb0 10y agomost older papers are pdf images. I know it's a dumb format but the screen scroling were not purposeful broken, it would have been fine.
