Screen Size: I am wondering if that screen size is good enough for reading text in PDF format ?

I have a related question. My primary use for it would be to read technical PDF files (with equations and color figures). The screen size at 10.1 " and 1000x600 resolution seems quite good, but I would like to know if anyone has compared it to the HP Mini-Note which has a 1280x768 resolution, but at a 8.9" screen size.

you need a application, such as Annotation. You can open PDF file on that application and add notes on it. And I believe this device is good enough for taking note. But it's hard to write small size words. And also you need to optimize window system. (you can find how to optimize on forum web sites.

To my knowledge, it only saves the screen in a PDF format, and that's it. There may be a way to do it, but if so, I haven't found it.

I scanned a 350-page dissertation (typed, double-spaced, one-sided), and it created a 20mb PDF. That was at either 200 dpi or 300 dpi. A similar, 41-page document is 3.8mb. I see that others are creating smaller files. I may have to look at my settings.

Can someone talk about the 7's performance with reading PDFs? I am looking for a device that will offer the ability to read research papers in PDF when i'm away from my computer. Is there lag during switching pages? My old archos (504) was worthless for reading PDF files.thanks in advance for the info,- Deidra

You can enlarge it easily, the way other commenders told you to. You can also change fonds in epub files but not in every pdf file. The device is fine. I 've been using it for 6 months or so and I love it.

Yes, though its 5x magnification is a bit high for reading menus extensively.2x magnification might be more appropriate, depending on your vision.

The app in its current form will run perfectly well at 2x / full screen size, and with the font size reduced to the smallest setting, you get a fair amount of content per page. The real question is whether or not they'll put any effort into making it better, e.g. color images, multimedia, etc.

It is an Android tablet. It can not run Windows software. You can use Adobe Reader to read pdf files.

To my eyes no I think the resolution is fine for the size. I do have 70/20 vision though. If you won't be to have close to it you should be fine.

Thank you. I was able to find out a little about PDF's on the C7280 if you ask in the knowledge base. It has to do with DPI with the HP software but doesn't effect 3rd party if I read it correctly. The site definitely had the C7280 as capable of doing PDF files the limitation with the HP software was setting the DPI below 150.

I was lobbying customer support to add the capability to upload PDF files :) I just got this idea - you can read email attachments, so could you send yourself a PDF and read it?????

The screen size is average. It's bigger than pocket size calculators I used in college, not a jumbo size. I hold this calculator in my hand to do my calculations at my desk & am able to view figures on screen without squinting ( I wear glasses too).

I did a test print on a PDF and it was tiny none of the words are legible. It does print it out as if appears just micro mini size.

Depends on what you want to use it for. The font - even set to the largest setting - is not entirely big. So if you were looking to transcribe class notes (or something to that effect), I would recommend something with a larger screen (7.85" or larger)...perhaps a tablet that works well with stylus. All said, it's possible for this tablet to supply your 'college' needs...but again, I'm not exactly sure how you will want to use it.

Yes to both. I develop database applications and often have many windows open, so the size and resolution are very useful. To make a screen this large at the given resolution means the pixels must be a bit bigger and as a result they are just barely visible. I would not be surprised to discover that other similar monitiors look pretty similar to this one. I just thought I should point out that I noticed right away that text was a slight bit fuzy. I have tried varying the font in my development software but that doesn't seem to make much difference.

From my experience, it is good for reading Information contained on 1.44 MB Floppy Discs. Hope this help answer your question.
