Well, as far as I interpret the initial post, the question is, whether or not a text only pdf will be working good/ok for reading on a 300.
I think that "ok" is a fair rating for any Sony reader.

Since I have the 600, I don't even bother reformatting layouted pdfs. This was one of the reasons I bought it. For the 505, I reformatted because there was no zoom and pan. But increasing font size with reflow worked well enough on the 505, too.

So what I basically want to get to is, that yes, text only pdfs will just work fine (even without conversion to any other file format).

I'm just curious, but why would I want to go through the hassle of converting text only files on the 300 (or even layout pdfs on a 600) if the file itself works fine as is?
