Use your Acer AspireOne as an eBook reader
I’ve had a lot of .pdf files to read recently and thought pretty seriously about buying a Kindle so I could carry them around with me. But, after a little research, and some thought, it looked like viewing .pdf’s on a Kindle was iffy at best and potentially a PITA if I had to convert all my documents.
I’ve been carrying around my AA1 and doing most of my .pdf reading on it, but have been a little frustrated trying to find the right combination of magnification and page width to get the most legible view.
Then I had an epiphany:
FoxIt Reader can rotate clockwise, counterclockwise and go fullscreen with just a couple of keystrokes! I’m already using FoxIt so this is a no brainer.
- CTRL+SHIFT+PLUS is clockwise
- CTRL+SHIFT+MINUS is counterclockwise
- F11 makes it fullscreen
- ESC cancels fullscreen
- SPACEBAR acts like Page Down
(you can also use the Left & Right arrow keys for Page Up & Down)
Problem solved!
Now I don’t have to spend $360 for yet another single purpose device!
