Today I sent an email to Bookeen camplaining about this issue. It's really not very ethical (and legal) to sell something that it is suppose to do something, and at the end, it does not do it!!!. So I guess if they don't give me some answer, I will complaing in some cunsumer organization of France, if I found one over the internet!

But it does do what it says. It opens PDFs (within it's memory limits). Of course, there is a lack of features in zooming, hyperlinks, etc. but no one said it would open
every PDF and display it
conveniently for
everyone.
The problem with PDFs is they are designed with a particular page and font size. If you try to open a PDF designed for A4 size in a screen which is 9x12cm, you should expect problems, no matter what. It's like displaying a color picture in a b/w screen, or a very detailed diagram in a low resolution TV screen, it just
cannot be perfect. Now, PDFs crafted for the Cybook work fine, just like b/W pictures in a b/w screen and low resolution images in TV screens.
I understand your frustration, but it's possible you expected too much (although future firmware versions may include additional options for displaying PDFs). In the meantime, maybe something like
pdfcrop is useful?
