This program is very unfriendly/un-mac-like. Try as I might, I do not like it. Not even a little. In my opinion this program is quite unusable. When viewing one or two pages at a time, the print is too small to read comfortably on my 17" display. When I zoom in, the text is larger, but it becomes easy to lose ones place with all the scrolling around you have to do (I can't use my powermate, or the wheel on my turbomouse to scroll either). When you move down the page, it takes a full 2 seconds before the new text appears. Who reads like that? When you read a book, do you look down at the next paragraph and wait 2 seconds before you're able to continue? Heck no! Why can't we control the increase in zoom? If I was viewing one page, I would like it to zoom so the text was big enough to read, and at the same time, I could view the complete page. Then I wouldn't have to scroll all over (left to right and up and down) to read things the way I like. I could take in the whole page. Because of these, and many other issues, the app is worthless to me, and all the magazines I read using this app are now, unfortunately, worthless as well. I'll never read them using this frustrating app.

I posted the same basic thing prior to you. I can read it on my 23" display but not on my 17" laptop. It is made to read at about 10 wpm.. at least to the over 50 crowd.. lol. I have been opening it to two gages that I wish to read then select print. On the bottom left is a save as pdf. Once all the pages are done and saved into a folder I open the hole group with Preview. Now your scroll wheel and arrow keys will work. If we could just get a 10% increase in text size it would be useable.Reply to This
