I agree, the default reader more smoothly renders documents plus scrolling is nicer.

They had a bug reported about this issue at https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2704

There is even a patch submitted as a solution. Now the question is where the sources for the default pdf reader is or who should we bug to get it recompiled.

Word-wrapping would be a great feature to have on the default pdf reader.

xpdf in Easy Debian gives lots of zooming beyond 400%. The only annoyance with that is it doesn't high-zoom in full-screen mode

It would make my life so much better if we have Word wrapping in n900.
And chapter list!

I even send a e-mail to the people on good reader asking if they have any plan of making a n900 port of it, but still no reply.

I've been using the default n900 PDF Reader and had no problems with any ebooks, however, the application does not remember what page I last viewed when I reopen the ebook. I have to write down what page I was on which is an annoyance.

I just tried evince and it has a few nice things. I noticed loading the next page now happens almost instantly where as with the default reader, loading the next page would take around 4 seconds. Evince also remembers what page I was on which is the feature I want most. Evince however is not useable to me because as soon as I move about the page, I see multiple instances of the page content for several seconds before it settles down. I think I will go back to the default reader but like others here, I am saying the n900 community needs a decent PDF reader!

Is there a way or other PDF reader options which when zoomed wraps the words or sentence on the N900 Screen, Just like the Page view option on Anroid.
The Stock PDF and Evince cant do this and its a shame, the writing is so small can read it unless we strain our eyes
