LCD preview of e-ink book
It would very useful if we had a preview mode on the e-ink screen that would open the file on the LCD side allowing us to adjust zoom level and position and then once we are done we can send this view (zoom and position) of the pdf to the e-ink. This would be very convenient for complicated pdf with multiple columns etc where sometimes it is difficult to adjust because of the slow refresh rate of the e-ink.
In fact, interaction in the other direction would also be useful. For example having a button on the e-ink that would open the pdf on a pdf viewer on the LCD screen would be very useful. Specially if it can open the file at the right page number and zoom level. I would be an alternative to the camera button. Last edited by fgruber; 05-19-2010 at 08:02 AM. |

I find the camera button a bit annoying with images because in order to see a good quality image you need to first zoom on the eink and then select the image with the camera button. Otherwise the resolution is quite bad.

I agree, fgruber. The quality of the color preview on the LCD side is very poor. Often the screen shots that I need to see are way too pixely to make out unless I zoom, like you said, on the e-ink side and then view it but that's not a really efficient way to work. It would be nice if the preview were a higher quality to begin with.

Oh, that would be nice, borisb! I've noticed in the very few pdfs with pics that work with Docs to Go, that they look a lot nicer than using the camera tool. But few of my pdfs work with Docs to Go, so I can't utilize the nicer graphics.

I think point one one my famous now wish list is what you need. you zoom on lcd to whatever image than with a click transfer this to e-ink. as the both screens have a similar resolution.

Well, since most of my pdfs don't work on pdfs to go, and I want the eReader to be the default, with a good image based on the eReader side. So, I like your push to eInk idea, but also want push to lcd. Perhaps a two way push?

It would be great if you could transfer a email, either partcialy or compleet, to the eink screen. I've got relative large emails in where I would like to make notes.
