Nexus battery life is great, u can also carry a powerpack..
I am using my Tab to read e-boos for past 6 months and have found that the tab satisfies my needs very well. I use cool reader and it renders PDF, epub and mobi formats without any glitch. You can customize the backgrounds and the reader comes with a set of day and night profiles. I find the night mode really useful because it helps me to read when everyone is sleeping and you cannot switch on the lights.
I usually read 2 — 3 hours a day and find it very comfortable. If you have access to an android tab, give it a try before plonking money to buy a dedicated e-Book reader. Thats what I do. I use a Nexus 7 for PDFs.
It also helps in a sense that any colour material on a Amazon purchased content, I get to read on the tablet rather than kindle. And PDF renders very well on these tablets. User Name. Remember Me?

Past a certain value it's the 2rd font size , your ereader will stop showing the lines of the text the way they were conceived its creator and will get into the REFLOW mode.
This mode has one huge advantage over text zooming: the text fills your screen width but it no longer stretches beyond its edges as it does in zooming mode. Each line is fitted within your screen width, and that regardless of the fot size you may choose. Of course, this mode only works with PDFs that consist of real text, and not of images like in the case of a a scanned page that was not OCR-ed.
Occasionally, depending on the original formatiing of your pdf file, you experience a few problems: - the header of the pdf file and the page number is never recognized as such, so it will appear ion top of your pages. In that case, I noticed that, if I change the font size increasing or decreasing it , I could eventually recover that page end.
On some pdf files maybe one in 10 in my experience the reflow mode does not work as it should. The font can be enlarged, but the line ends "carriage returns" remain where they were in the pdf file.
Despite these flaws, Sony's "line reflow" is a major boon, and I am surprised that Sony did not advertise as much as it should. I am checking now with a few pdf files various font sizes: When I open the pdf file, and I then check the font size, I see it defaults to font size 2 -- and the viewing mode is normal margins, header and all.
