Your first error is trying to use PDF.
PDF is just not a suitable format for ebook readers. PDF is a static, fixed, unchangeable representation of a document in a very specific paper format. It's designed to produce one and the very same document, no matter where you display or print it - provided you have the correct paper format (or a large enough display) at hand, otherwise you end up with ugly borders. For ebook readers, with displays usually smaller than any common paper format, you need a format that is dynamic, flowing, so you want HTML, EPUB, etc.
Your second error is DRM.
Unfortunately, as it is, DRM is a nuisance on any reader. More often than not it prevents you from reading stuff you have paid good money for - a problem that pirates do not have and they pay nothing...
2011 is still the dark age when it comes to digital publishing. Maybe in 10 years there will be better devices AND more books available without DRM in a suitable format from the start. As of now, you have to rely on software like Calibre to polish up some odd formats first before putting it on the reader.
