I love how that site offers a phone-formatted PDF as an option. How thoughtful!

Is it working out well for tech pdf's and books? Once I saw the form factor I realized it would be better than an iPad (less heavy, better battery) and that is the use case I am looking at. Might wait till v2.

You may enjoy the reflow feature on Koreader. It fits a pdfs content into a screenwidth single column layout. That text is also zoomable.

Does it work on scanned (non-“digital”) PDFs as well? That has been my biggest pain point so far. Haven’t tried Koreader yet.

I have found that it works surprisingly well on PDFs ripped from the Internet Archive. These PDFs tend to be OCR'd scanned copies of the book. I doubt that it would work if the text is not selectable at all.
