What about the currently available "Adobe Reader" books? Would DE give us access to these books on the PRS-505?
As far as PDF you purchase from say Fictionwise or BooksOnBoard, you can basically write them off. They were a bad idea from day one. And support for them is not going to happen (IMHO) on any eink reader. WHat we are hoping however is that with DE that the PDF rendering engine will be imporved to the point where we won't need pdflrf.
