Have tough time getting a good PDF reader that meets the following requirement:
I want to read without having to scroll the page manually. For long hours of reading scrolling can be very painful to the eyes. Almost all readers have a flip page function, by touching at the bottom left/right of the page. But most of them (barring one, see below) flip a print-page and not a screen-page. In short I am looking for PageDown functionality with simple touch. Options already evaluated: Adobe acrobat: - Text reflow, kind of achieves it, though most pdf documents are not reflow friendly and many of them look awful with reflow. - Continuous view (instead of page view) is an option, but on flipping page it looses zoom level which is very annoying. Aldiko: - Very good reader. But flips the entire page. No option to flip screen. PDF Reader (well, that's its name): - Precisely has the option I am looking for. It lets you decide between Page/Screen setting when flipping. But this is not stable. Crashes often and overall look is untidy. Free version shows maximum 13 pages. Haven't tried paid version. Moon, FBReader, Amazon kindle: Do not support PDF. Moon's paid version supports PDF, but the feature I am looking for is not mentioned. So not sure whether to buy. There is a bunch of a few more readers on Google Play. Tired of trying out and unsure of the outcomes. There are roundabout options like converting pdf to ebook format etc. I am not very keen as it's not very convenient to do so on every pdf. I've not tried such things either and don't know how well they work. Mayuresh. _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
