Hello,
I am mainly reading technical pdfs and epubs, some scanned, and some text.
All with pictures and formulas.
Currently I use a PW with koreader which works surprisingly well, but
I'd like to get a better screen and more memory. Many documents are 50 MB each, and the kindle's
low memory is an issue for me.
I would like to get an Aura HD for the large screen and the memory slot.
The dealbreaker for me is that the pdfreader on the Aura HD is not good enough.
Many documents have a large margin, but the built in reader has no is no crop or zoom to fit content.

(I can manually crop, but honestly this is too much effort)
My questions are:
-If I get an Aura HD and install the koreader (or other software, maybe?), can I expect to have the same features as on the PW?
-Has anyone both readers and can comment on the quality of the pdf display?
-One big problem I have with the koreader on the PW is that I can't get zoom to work properly. The pinch to zoom seems to have only two zoom levels, and zooming destroys the crop settings.
My typical workflow is to open the pdf and crop using semi auto settings.
When I want to zoom in on a formula or figure, I can pinch once and get a slightly larger zoom level, but then I have to crop again.
-I assume that with the inferior touchscreen on the Aura HD, doing any changes will be even worse. Any comments?
Many thanks,
Dan
