Reading PDF files which haven't been created with the Sony Reader's screen size in mind are difficult. For some, turning the screen orientation to landscape (press and hold the Size button until the text rotates) can make them more readable.

I have found that using the PDFLRF application can make PDF files actually useful on the Reader. I can't recall where I downloaded this from, though. I'm sure I read about it here first, so perhaps if you did a search of this forum for PDFLRF you can find where to download it from.

It has worked for a number of PDF files which are finally readable on my 500.
