It doesn't, really though. Piles of printouts aren't PDF's anymore, either, they're ink on pulped trees. I don't really care what the thing becomes, as long as it is in a form that is useable to me, with a substantial enough improvement on the ink-on-pulped trees to make it worth the purchase price.

Whether something does or does not convert "well" is going to vary with the tolerances of the person doing the reading, which is going to be influenced heavily by the kinds of files they are trying to read. Nothing with less than an 8.5 X 11 inch screen is going to display EXACTLY like a paper printout designed for the US market. The individual purchaser will just have to decide if the other advantages of a given reader outweigh the problems for what THEY are going to do.
