And all eBook in ePub format should be sold as being compatible with mobile DE and if not able to be made compatible, then at least labeled as such.
I fully agree with you JSWolf. Companies such as ebooks.com are making all sorts of press releases to say that they're now compatible with the PRS-505. But there's a huge difference between offering PDF files and ePub files for the PRS-505. While PDF reflow is a good solution as a fallback method, when you don't have any other solution, it shouldn't be considered the normal way to read files on the 505. Adobe should be extra careful with this problem, otherwise some people might label Adobe DE with "bad user experience".
