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".
I think what we should do is start a thread here that lists all the eBook shops that sell eBooks in "Adobe DE" format and what format it actually is. BooksOnBoard is the only store I know fo right now that sells ePub and is not mislabeling it at all.

ebooks.com no longer labels their PDF as Adobe DE. They have it as just Adobe.
