I tend to agree. I'd love to see something that actually *WORKED* at reformatting PDF files to a standard 6" e-ink display - not just 'trimming' whitespace, but a true re-format of any and all text in even the most basic PDF files. I've tried all the recommendations and they all fail in some form or another. Right now, if I simply *must* have a PDF ebook on my Cybook, I go through the laborious process of converting to Word and thence to mobi, editing out conversion errors - such as spurious page headers and footers - as I go.
