It almost becomes insulting how they train us, their customers, to lower our expectations. I am yet to see a single ebook eink reader that does even half decent job with pdf's.
Well, PDF is a non-reflowable format, what do you expect when you try to squeeze an 11x8.5 into 6" diagonal? PDF is supported in these devices because marketing dictates it needs to. Unless the PDF is formatted for this screen size, it's an exercise in futility. I saw how horrible PDFs were on the nook original, I haven't even loaded one on the touch, it's not what I got it for. I read my technical PDFs on the laptop.
