Two thoughts here, Isaak. Can you format pdf's for a six inch screen, or even for a width x height screen, which might give you a better viewing experience. (I don't know that much about pdf's as I have stuck with epub up to now.)

Alternatively can you get better results by embedding your font? This is not easy if you make stupid mistakes, as I did at first, but dead easy when you stop doing foolish things. Makes your epub a bit bigger, but with 2 GB of native memory, who's counting?
