I'm pleased to see the reflowed (reflown?) PDFs on my Reader and to borrow Adobe DE books from libraries and read them on it, too. But I won't be buying anything in this format for my Reader until further improvements are made. About all I can say for the rendering on the Reader is that all of the letters do indeed appear on the screen in a readable size. But they have a very long way to go before this is decent.

Below are scans of Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle (I checked it out from the Washington, D.C. public library at no cost) on my 505 in both small and medium fonts. The small font views are also just as they appear on my PC. All the formatting and layout is the same. Too bad we can't read it because it's too tiny. But switch to medium font and here comes reflow to the rescue. Or does it? You judge. I think it's pretty awful.

The lack of full justification is annoying. To be fair, though, in this case the original (unreflown) ebook isn't fully justified (not a good idea, in my opinion). But even worse, you'll see that indented text and text which is a collection of short lines gets converted to a jumble. I don't like this at all and hope Sony will work on and fix this. They did a great job with the displays of their BBeB format and I'm hoping for something similar here.
