Thanks for the tip on pdflrf. I came across this one that make all kinds of claims about how great it makes books look but at $50 it's a bit steep. |
A second hand Sony PRS-500 in Europe is even over USD 500 (at least the one I bought in UK on e-bay plus the cost of shipping by UPS to the country where I reside now).
As for the Michelangelo in the link you provided it is just a formatter for text based Word documents. Although the author claims that he tried in vain all kind of other utilities to remove line breaks and retain the typesetting, I believe that there are Gutenberg project utilities that can do the job.
Pdflrf is free and works with image based pdfs by removing the white margins, fattening the lines of text, rotating pages from portrait to horizontal and splitting pages in two (or four) to fill the screen horizontally with an image of text (plus a lot of settings for other refinements).
