I would wait for the new Sony 505 firmware update coming out soon (date unspecified).
This new update is supposed to give better pdf support among other things.
I have the Sony 505. I downloaded the web-options.pdf link from the start of this thread, and ran it
though several programs. I got the best results from a conversion program called RasterFarian,
which converts the pdf as a rasterized sony reader ebook lrf file.
The RasterFarian program has a history and Strong abilities.

You don't have to own a Sony 505 reader to see what the results are like.
Download and Install both the Sony eBook Library software and the
RasterFarian program. Do a Conversion with RasterFarian. It will give you a good idea of what can
be achieved.
I was able to read your pdf ok with the Sony 505 screen in Landscape mode.. The print was on the small
side. The print was bigger then a home mortgage contract or a prescription medicine disclaimer.
There is software called LaTeX, (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX) that some use to reformat their
pdf's into a more e-reader friendly format. Its not something I have experience with.
The Sony 505 doesn't have as much screen real-estate as the iRex iLiad or the soon to come out Hanlin
eReader V9, yet if one was to buy a pair of cheap 2.00 Strength reading glasses to go with their Sony
Reader they might find a more Compact, less expensive e-reader solution for their pdf's. I bought my
Sony 505 as Ever-changing Electronic Paperback Book.
The programs I use most on my 505 are:
1.) libprs500, its the single best program for the Sony Reader.
2.) Bullzip PDF Printer driver, its freeware and its append mode it great!
3.) Web2Book, it downloads feeds and web pages.
4.) Sony eBook Library software, its clunky but has its benefit's.
5.) RasterFarian
