Well, you can convert them to Epub, using Calibre, or you could ask your students to use Arial.

EDIT: Ok, well, it doesn't appear to be an eink problem, as I just created a PDF using Times New Roman from a docx file (I can't remember if I wrote the doc in Word 2007 or 2010 though) and downloaded it to my Kindle, and it displayed just fine. I don't understand how that could be an Edge problem, but apparently, it is. very strange, it seems to me. Don't have my Edge yet to try it on, so I can't comment on that.

I read somewhere the Edge uses Adobe software on the e-ink side. Like I said, my 6“ reader displays these doc-to-pdf files exactly like my Edge, so I suppose the problem is not Edge related.
