I agree with this. Most PDF books are formatted for 8.5 x 11 paper which means you have to use the zoom feature a lot or PDF reflow which can be hit and miss. The reflow function on the eDGe is much better than the Nook. I believe just because of the large screen. I am getting to the point where I will not buy any PDF books. If I can get them for free from my public library or other legal source then I will give them a try.
