What are you reading on it? I'm considering getting something for reading technical books. Do you think this would fit?

- solarkraft 5y agoI mostly read books in the epub format, which is a great experience. Things get a bit more complicated with PDFs on the 8" screen due to their fixed layout. KOReader has settings and accomodations to comfortably deal with many of them, but it usually requires a little tinkering. Typical A4 PDFs are just about readable with basic cropping in vertical mode and become quite easily readable in horizontally mode. There are some modes to navigate multi-column PDFs and reflow text blocks. But there can definitely be PDFs that are not comfortably readable. The situation is better the larger the screen is, so people tend to prefer 10" (Boox Note) or 13" (Boox Max) devices for heavy PDF consumption. I would personally prefer it if people stopped publishing great looking but hard to consume PDFs as the only way to consume content.
