I mean to me it seems that the conversion is basically a scaling process, in landscape mode you have the feeling that too little is shown at a time, and you have to scroll to often, and some of the fonts might look too small in portrait mode when actually shown on the device. It is too bad Sony does not sell them in Europe, so I can't check it in a shop... (while I can ask my brother to order one in US).
After processing the file a couple different ways you can view it in Libprs500. I had the same reservations about the landscape mode, but I'm really quite happy with the way landscape displays. 1/2 page at a time is fine for most of the stuff I read (math, physics, exercise physiology papers). Especially since the conversion handles images and tables so nicely. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised once you get it.

Good Luck,

Mike
