I have tried EPUB both with Sony PRS-650 and Bebook One as well as Cybook Opus. In all three cases the look of the page is different and even more so when you start playing with font sizes.

I create PDF the way I want them to look like, font sizes and placements carefully designed so that they look good on 6" screen, then when I load up the document I don't have to bother about settings.

Why is PDF seen as such a bad thing for e-readers? I understand people's frustrations with other than plain text PDFs, but for this kind of content I don't see why not using a PDF especially when I already have freeware tools to generate such content without additional plugins or software.

Thank you for your help and the screenshot, I really appreciate it!
