Release PDF reader

[kybernetikos]

Sorry if this has been asked before, I did a search and it didn't come up.

It would be really useful to me to be able to read PDFs on the pandora, ideally with the ability to jot notes on them as well using the touchscreen/keyboard. Does anyone know if an app like that is already planned?

If it's not already installed, it'll be a piece of cake to get the software required. I think Evince might work, but that might drag in all kinds of GNOME software (if those aren't preinstalled), since it depends on GNOME.

xpdf ... practically a given terrible interface though

and ePDFview will probably work they both aren't too bad on dependencies i think

there is a lighter gtk based pdf viewer, epdfview, that I believe is based on evince with the gnome dependencies removed; i doubt that it allows to take notes however.

I'll be surprised if you can't at least read PDFs out of the box.

I'm planning to read ebooks on my Pandora too, and if worst comes to worst (no one releases a PDF reader) you can always use an online one. There are some out there..here is one:
