And to this I will strongly disagree, I have nook Classic, it turns my PDF's into jumbled and drunken mess, anything beyond plain and simple text will not be displayed as originaly intended, bullet points go on for pages followed by the actual text, tables are hopelessly broken, text formatted in different fonts looses fonts (and therefore the meaning)...
If you have anything remotely resembling structured text in PDF format, you can comfortably forget about nook.
It seems PDF is the most popular format and yet every single e-book reader on the market has an issue or two with this format. Don't vendors have at least SOME common sense to test the gadget they order from manufacturers on the most popular format BEFORE they start selling the darn thing to us?!
