ON my Acer N311 PDF does NOT read well, despite trying to use software designed specifically for reading PDF on a PPC. Have to say PDF is a a bad format for ereaders but quite good for a desktop or notebook.

Readers who are not interested or knowledgeable of the ins and outs of what comprises an electronic book, care about whether or not they can read a book comfortably. On my Cybook, I cannot read a PDF eBook comfortably because the Cybook does not provide the options I need to do that. On the Cybook PDF books are displayed as simple print images of the original paper books. But the same books that are tagged and reflowed on my Pocket PC are true electronic documents that display great on the smaller screen. This is a limitation with the Cybook, not with the format and does not make the PDF format dreadful as an eBook.
