I am college student @ Uo Arizona and many of my books are Adobe PDF formatted. Are these files easy to convert? (My major is computer science/mathematics, so I wouldn't mind having to write code to convert files). If it is near impossible to convert these files (and I'm sure someone has tried by now) what reader would handle PDF format well? Is there a universal format most readers will be able to read without problem and displays correctly?

And the real question... Is this worth my time and money? I would love not to have to carry around huge text books all day.. but if this isn't a practical solution, someone stop me now.
