Question

Electronic books

Question to the owners of this reader.
How about text recognition in djvu and pdf format in this reader?
I want to take this book to read mainly technical books. There are many formulas, codes, drawings in the text of the books.

Answer 1

You can resize pdf for a six-inch screen - www.willus.com/archive/

Answer 2

For technical documentation and in general the formats you listed, it is better to take Pockets 903/912 - these are 9-inch.
I have a Pocket 301+, it suits everyone for an artist, but reading PDF on it, formatted initially for A4, is a real torment.
Page on the screen - nifiga is not visible. With scaling - inconvenient and long.
On 912, the vast majority of PDF documents are displayed perfectly without scaling. It was him that I took for various documentation.
However, all the same, 912 has nuances and they are very important:
1. An electric book of this size should be either at home or at work, and in a protective reinforced case is a must. Due to its size, it is even more fragile than its 6-inch counterparts. It is dangerous to carry with you in transport.
2. If you read pdf / djvu like a regular book, then everything is ok. If the documentation and datasheets, which one way or another often need to jump back and forth across sections, are no longer convenient on eInk in principle.
Therefore, it so happened to me that when I download a large datasheet and read it for the first time, I take the Pocket 912 and thoughtfully study chapter by chapter. It's comfortable. But when it comes time to directly work with the datasheet, you have to take the iPad, because. in the electronic book, due to the slowness of eInk, a lot of time is spent jumping to the content and running around between sections. On LCD devices, it's much faster.
So think twice before taking an eInk book if it is intended specifically for the mode of operation I have described.
If not, and you need an eInk reader anyway, you can safely take the Pocketbook - one of the best in terms of format support and usability.

Answer 3

I was looking for a reader for technical literature, in the end I didn’t get hung up on EInk, I took the A10 android reader from the same PocketBook. I've been using it for half a year, I'm happy as an elephant :-) Reading PDF and DJVU is a pleasure. Batteries without straining enough for a week, and also shows cartoons to children :-)
Zhenya bought just the same 612 Pro. In general, it is eventually used only for fiction, reading PDF on it is simply not convenient, and it did not show any of the available DJVUs, despite the declared support for the format.

Answer 4

PDF reads well, again, the shortcomings of the format make themselves felt (it's annoying to scroll the page left and right with a large zoom). I didn’t experiment with the maximum file size, but I opened all 7 parts of Harry Potter in one file quite quickly (personal experience), there were no problems with turning the pages, the waiting was not tiring. Drawings are displayed flawlessly (though black and white).
Unfortunately, I do not often read technical literature with an abundance of schemes, I just described my feelings.
