Portrait modes works okay for some PDFs, depending on the formatting. Landscape mode does work quite well otherwise, and is a good way to minimize large margins and increase the text size for the smaller screen. Plus PDFs don’t have the page dial pop-up that ebooks have when swiping from the bottom of the screen so there’s no way to navigate that way either.Įntering page numbers manually and using the table of contents is the best way to navigate PDFs, and when using the TOC it will add a “go back” button at the bottom of the screen so it is possible to go back when using that method, but it only remembers one previous location, not multiple locations like the dedicated back button use to.Īnother annoying limitation is the fact that you can only rotate the screen to landscape mode in one direction, making it so you have to hold the Kindle left-handed. With the older software you could use the back button to quickly go back to previous locations, but since they removed the back button in a recent software update where they changed the user interface, that’s no longer possible. On rare occasions when tapping hyperlinks does work, there’s no easy way to get back to the previous page unless you happened to bookmark it first or memorize the page number. Now tapping links usually just turns the page or opens the menu. With the older software you could tap embedded links to jump to different parts of a PDF, but that no longer works properly. However, they’ve inexplicably made navigating PDFs more difficult since the last time I posted a Kindle PDF review.įor example, tapping hyperlinks no longer works 90% of the time. The new page transition setting helps make turning pages a lot smoother, instead of having the entire page flash black like before, and there are no ghosting issues at all so the 6.8-inch 300 ppi screen looks really good.
