Respectfully, a lot of us get a great deal of use out of the format. It's certainly the best format to use on a PRS device, and it's not hard to make your own files with the tools available these days.

I sincerely regret that you didn't learn about that ahead of time. We try really hard to make sure that folks know that PDF is at best a decent option for the Reader if and only if the files are formatted for its display when they're made. It always saddens me when I encounter someone who didn't find out until it was too late.

The one they did include came from Adobe. Sony doesn't really have control over what Adobe does with
its products. I suppose Sony could have demanded something more capable, but they'd probably have just ended up getting told to suck wind. Adobe's not real well known for acquiescing to such demands.

This has been a big question mark for a lot of us over the past year -- why didn't they? And why have they
still not? Wish I knew.

They've committed to supporting .epub on the 505, they've said they're looking into it for the 500, but all of that is dependent on
Adobe finishing a mobile edition of DE. Whether whatever they eventually produce will reflow existing PDF files or not is up to them. They've demonstrated the ability to do so in the past, but they seem reluctant to admit to it these days.
