Hi all,

I'm looking to upgrade from the PRS-500 to an E Ink reader that natively supports PDF, and especially HTML. I prefer the size of the Cybook to the Iliad (the Sony Reader fits in my coat pockets), but have a question.

What's the current state of the Cybook's PDF support? I'm particularly interested in whether or not it can rescale letter-size documents without manual conversion. Having to convert PDFs prior to transferring them is one of my motivations for finding a more capable reader, but the various reviews I've read are unclear and very likely outdated.
