Well, if you control the source and are creating the PDF you can size it propertly for the device.

BUt, if you don't... well, at least for the Sony, it doesn't convert the PDF in any way. There is other stuff out there that will do it. But, you loose the layout, fonts and graphics. If it is 100% text, it won't be a problem.

The Kindle will convert PDF's... you can email it to your device for 10 cents or to a fee email address and they will email it back to you converted, and you can load it via USB. But, I have heard these conversions are hit and miss.
