I have tried it and not sure I would recommend doing it. I have just downloaded the Yorkshire chapter from the UK Lonely Planet. Downloading the 66 pages 3.5mb pdf file was easy from their site and reasonably priced. Viewing of my Sony 505 was not so good. The zoom function had no effect on the font size which remained small and difficult to view. It might be my age! Even with reading glasses it was small. Interestingly some text were in text boxes which appeared large. Turning pages were slow and spoilt the experience. At times I thought my 505 had crashed. So using the 505 in the "field" may not be practical. It may be easier to print it out.
