ambertape,
I am sorry you are so bitter. But what you want to do probably cannot be achieved short of having a device that will display the pages of the magazine at least at 100% of the size that they were made, and perhaps larger.

Why? You ask. It is really quite simple the pdf files of the magazine are not reflowable text but are in essence photographs of the pages. In addition there is no consistent format to the pages so that programs like pdflrf haven't a prayer of working except on a page by page basis. That is to say you would have to extract each page individually and process each one of them somewhat differently. There just is no good way of fitting a static image of one size on a smaller screen other than making the image smaller, and as you have noted the human eyes are not built to deal with such a small image.

Bottom line is that the Sony Reader, and other such devices are intended to display text based information, not photographic though they struggle in trying do so.
