I have a pdf text which is hard to read. It occurred to me to try installing the Nook reader to see if it would improve visibility. The Barnes& Noble web site has downloads for Windows, Mac, iPads and Android tablets and phones. I downloaded the Windows version and installed it with Wine but have not got it working correctly as yet. Has anybody already done this?
Yes - waste of time (IMNSHO). Installing Linux *on* a Nook is a good idea though ;-pSeriously - Calibre is (much) better for general e-book reading and management. Okular is better for plain pdfs.
You might want to check what fonts the pdf requires - it may be it doesn't use embedded fonts - in which case it will pick from your system fonts (which is where the "hard to read" bit may come in).
