Generally speaking pdfs are difficult to manage on the ebooks, but side by side the Sony beats the Amazon Kindle.Īs a final note, the new range of Sony ebook readers now use android as their base OS and I can't comment on how well they work. With text reflow it just like any other native format with images preserved. Kindle ereaders and apps support PDF format but group dont have PDF reflow built-in like some ereaders and apps. My answer is that its like reading any other ebook. Using Calibre to convert pdfs to other formats generally is a bit rubbish, and Amazon's PDF converter service (you email then the book and they convert it) is also pretty poor. After my last post regarding jailbreak of my Kindle many were asking what its like to read PDF documents on it. The attempt to reflow is never perfect however, but it is actually still the best pdf reflowing I've managed to find. If you view a pdf on the Sony at size 'small' it'll render the pdf as normal, if you do any other size then it will attempt to 'reflow' the pdf text, allowing you to zoom in/out without having to pan left and right constantly while reading.

I tried the Kindle but it rather sucked for that.Ī while back I went for the Sony PRS650, partially based on its better than kindle PDF support.
