There are PDF-to-eBook converters out there, but the tend to be anything but clean.
Forget the converters, they just don't work properly. You can get good results manually, but it really isn't worth the effort just to get the documents on your reader.

What would work is a reader with a 9.7" screen, Mirasol or a new generation of e-ink, that has the same refresh rate as an LCD. My guess is that we are still 1-2 years away from such a device.
