I'm basing this ont he fact that if the formatting does not need to be complex, then we are stuck with a fixed format and a fixed font size. Part of the idea of a reader is th ability to change the font size and also letter sized PDF do not look good on a 6" screen without reformatting of the PDF. Can you honestly say that you would enjoy more reading a letter sized PDF (of non-complex formatting) on your Gen3 then you would had it been in Mobipocket format?
