- microbass 6y agoIs there any way to get files onto it, besides their cloud service?

- Libbum 6y agoI wouldn't recommend this. PDF support is horrible, particularly if you have a two column layout file. You cannot correctly zoom in far enough in most cases - in the sense that zoom is possible, just absolutely impractical. Without that, you generally need a magnifying glass to read the text on the display. Very nice hardware, just awful software.
- reinhardt1053 6y agoAre you talking about the new version or the old one?
- Libbum 6y agoVersion 1. But as I say, the hardware is good. Version 2 will have even better hardware specs, but the operating system I suspect will be the same.
- diehunde 6y agoAren't most books single column layout though? If I have to read a paper I can use a tool such as k2pdfopt[1] and read it on my Kindle. [1] https://www.willus.com/k2pdfopt/ https://www.willus.com/k2pdfopt/
- Libbum 6y agoI mostly read scientific papers. Quite a good number of them are two column. Haven't come across k2pdfopt before - I'll check it out, thanks!
