One quick comment on this: You don't want to convert any PDFs with math equations to a native format- in my experience, it really screws up the equations to a point of total unreadability.

See the attached picture. This is the textbook I'm currently working on (which is available as PDF download through my universitys network, so it's legal) displayed on my Cybook. As you can see, I use landscape mode. I flipped it so that the controls are on the right-hand side of the device and zoomed in to the point where the page width corresponds to the screen width. Granted, it's not that large a print, but at least for me, it's big enough to easily read.
EDIT: For size reference: The screen is 9 cm in heigth and 12.3 cm in width.
EDIT 2: I forgot to mention this: About a third of the page gets displayed this way, with some overlap.
