Is this a good reader?

I live in South Africa, where readers are still few and far between. The only model that is readily available (as in I can walk into a store and walk out with one) is the iRiver Story.

I have a substantial collection of technical eBooks in PDF format that I want to be able to read on something other than my laptop. I have read that the Story supports PDF "out the box", but also that it does not do very well with "standard" PDF font sizes, as the zoom causes you to lose parts of the page.

Do you find that PDF can be a problem? If so, would converting to another format, such as ePub, make it better?

I appreciate your time and trouble. I am sorely tempted to pick one of these up on the way home today. That would be about an hour from now. Nothing like a spur of the moment decision.
