NO, that's by design! It's an overlap area that repeats on the next page so that there is NO "cut" in the middle of a sentence. Read the bottom of page 5 and you'll see that the top of page 6 starts a line or two before the text you read at the bottom of page 5 and is NOT cut on page 6. See, no information is lost!

With ABBYY PDF Transformer, it didn't do that. I just hated how a lot of the images weren't selected properly before converting so you'd have to go through and make sure they're outlined properly. Was just hoping for something simple that had everything done for you before converting.

You know, this kind of thing won't be an issue when Asus releases their ereader. That is if it supports PDF which it probably will since I guess supposedly it'll double as a mini-laptop. Seen this yet?

I have an ASUS eeePC 10" netbook but won't use it as an ebook reader when a dedicated model like my REB1200 can read the same ebook format. I did buy an iLiad to better allow me to read .pdf ebooks natively but even it needs to zoom and pan to be legible. It's best to get a larger device (with a 10" screen) to read those pesky .pdf ebooks.
