Package: evince
Version: 2.30.3-2
Severity: normal


Hello,

I would like to mention that Evince is cool, but it cannot display well
the text on a small size screen/monitor such as a tablet.

On a archos running Debian Linux, the evince is sometimes not showing
the fonts with decent size.

As a Cybook ebook reader, you can for PDF viewer reflow the text.

Reflowing the text, with also Font Size Increase using XF86xxx, would be
a right improvement to make a pdf readable. 

Yours Sincerely
Debian fan
