There wouldn’t a lot of black, so it would move from magnified section to magnified section much more quickly.Ī computer (even a tablet computer) is going to be better at this point for intense, natively-read pdfs…but I like my Kindle for converted pdfs.

My feeling is that it would be much more effective with, say, a table full of numbers. Just like with the browser, it could be used, and it might save you at times, but most of the time, it would be a lot of work (for an image as intense as that map). So, my overall impression: as my offspring would say, “meh”. Then, Home got me right back to the homescreen, as you would expect.

You could hit the Back button, and it went immediately back (well, part of a second…like a normal page turn) to the original image. It seemed to me like the more dark there was, the longer it took. That was helpful.Īnother negative, though…even moving to another section took a long time to repaint it…one of the sections (with a lot of dark) took twenty-five seconds.

There are also “position bars” along the bottom and right-hand edges to show you if there is more above you, below you, to your right and to your left. Here was another negative: it took more than twenty seconds (again) for it to enlarge that section 200%.Ī positive: once it was enlarged, it looked great! I could read everything just fine, and had someone else look at it: yep, no problems. Tip: if you hold down the shift (up arrow key) when using the 5-way, you can make in move in much smaller increments. I got a selection box, which I could move around with my 5-way. The text was much too tiny for me to read…I would say I would have needed a magnifying glass, if it was on paper. It filled the screen, with some white (and I use that term loosely…whatever color the normal background it) border space. Here was the first negative: it literally took about twenty-two seconds to open the file. In the beginning with the Kindle 1, it could take hours, but that hasn’t been my experience in…oh, certainly months. I wasn’t able to see how long it took for it to be sent, but even converting a file, it’s usually under a minute or so for me. Pop quiz: how much did it cost me (a US Kindleer using US wireless) to send that document directly to my Kindle?įorty-five cents: fifteen cents per meg (roughly a thousand kb), rounded up. I also had it sent directly to the Kindle (I was in a bit of a hurry). I downloaded a pdf of the map the park had provided.

The walk was going to be a couple of miles or more. We were going on a walk through a large park where they had installed some art exhibits. Well, intrepid explorer that I am, I thought I’d try the zoom for you. Honestly, the unconverted pdfs just tend to be too small for me to see well.
#Kindle zoom pdf Pc#
Since we’ve had the Kindle for PC option, I’ve used that to look at images, when necessary. I don’t tend to read a lot of books that have heavy-duty graphs or intricate images. When our Kindle 2s got native pdf reading in a previous update, I tried it…but found it wasn’t really for me. Oh, I wouldn’t learn it that way initially, but it’s a good refresher. I find that listening to it in the car on the way to a class can be a great way for a quick review. That way, I can search (which I definitely want to be able to do), make notes, and, importantly to me, use text-to-speech. I’ve generally converted them (Amazon will do that for you for free) to a fully functional Kindle file. I’ve used pdfs on my Kindle quite a bit: the curricula we use at work are in a pdf format, and having it on my Kindle has been great.

One of the new features in the Kindle version 2.5 upgrade is the ability to zoom and pan on pdfs (portable document format) files.
