How the Lowly PDF Played the Longest Game in Tech
- cratermoon 6y agoI hope the liquid mode works out. I might have read a PDF on my phone once or twice, out of sheer necessity, but it's painful. But the mobile device I most want to have a better reading experience for PDFs – and documents in general – is my eReader. I'm not especially impressed with the ePub format, though I can see its attraction in making possible ereaders with very limited hardware. Yes ereaders all will show you PDFs, but by design the layout is fixed. In most cases, to get the text big enough to read I can't fit a whole page, so I end up scrolling around painfully. Sometimes I can show a full page and, with my glasses, am able to read the text. Sometimes the document is in 2-page landscape mode, which never works.
