Reading PDF files
As mentioned before, PDF files are different from ePub, TXT and other
files. They can be displayed in two modes. You can select the mode in the
options menu while reading a book (Formatted vs. Reflow)
1) Reflow mode (=text only)
In this mode, text is adjusted to automatically fit the page, no
matter what font size is selected.
2) Formatted
In this mode, the page is displayed as originally created and in
such way that 1 page in the book is displayed on 1 e-reader
screen. In this mode changing the font size actually zooms in or
out on the page. As a result parts of the page will be outside
the screen of the e-reader and to view those arease you need
to scroll left to right or top to bottom. If you want to take a
look at graphics in a book this is recommended, however for
simple reading Reflow mode is recommended.
Reminder :
the internet is filled with books that are actually scans of books and not digital
text documents. They are saved in PDF format but are basically images; they do not contain text
content. Opening these kind of PDFs is like opening an image. You will not be able to adjust font
size and other options and the view is always Formatted and never Reflow.
