Cons
Con Send to Kindle now has to be paid for
Send to Kindle only works if a user is already paying for a cloud subscription plan.
Con Not good for students research
The eBooks available from Amazon do not offer normal page numbers, printing or even copy paste, which makes using any of the ebooks for reports or papers pretty much impossible.
Con No XFA Adobe Forms support
Cannot fill PDF Forms created with Adobe.
Con Requires many KDE libraries
Con No middle-mouse auto-scrolling
Instead of scrolling automatically when holding down the mouse wheel and dragging, it instead zooms in or out, in contrast with many other programs.
Con Poor HiDPI support
You may have to tinker with QT__SCALE_FACTOR environment variables to get the desired size and not blurry content (this is a bug; see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=362856 and https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/54688)
Con No search results overview
You have to navigate to next/previous hit one by one
Con No "fit to page" option under printing settings
You can only print the content as given so, when you receive a bigger or smaller image thant the default of the printer, you will have to edit it first on other editor.
Con Slow scroll
Its new ultra-slow-scroll for PgUp and PgDn makes it unuseable.
