pdflrf works for these type of books but like I said the text is very small...its hard to read even if you have good eyesight. But the awesome thing is that it keeps the images and layout of the pdf...it's almost there..it just needs to be fine tuned and add a way to make the zoom work.

I want know why sony couldn't come up with a converter like this. Most people see the box and it states that it can read pdf's. How ever they fail to mention you have to format and clean up a regular size pdf to make it work....most people don't have that kind of time or patience.

My question is if someone can code a decent converter why can't Adobe and sony make DE work with the reader. Reader support should have been the first firmware upgrade when DE 1.0 came out.

The sony reader is an awesome device but if you can't put content on it or your bookstore selection is weak then it's useless! Look at the ipod its easy to put content on and easy to use...pretty easy to see why it's so popular.
That's why I keep saying if sony had not of fed up and dropped the ball they could be the ipod of ereaders.

Instead of tossing in stupid filler items like a music player and picture viewer they could of focused more on expanding thier bookstore or partnering with Borders or Barns and Noble and figuring out how to make DE on the reader before releasing the 505.
