I had about the same experience except I wanted to find out how it handled DRMed books in PDF. I purchased the cheapest secure PDF I could find--it was Sparknotes on a book I was studying--and loaded it on the PRS.
They seem to have perfected the DRM part because it connected to Adobe and unlocked the book like a Swiss watch: perfection. Too bad the reading experience was so wonky.
At first, the text was too small to read, but when I increased the font size pagination went clear off the tracks. The first page was OK, but after that pages would suddenly stop in the middle of the screen, or start halfway down the screen, or whatever. It made reading for understanding pretty hard. I don't like to have to read around the way a book is formatted, especially when I've paid to have it formatted in the first place.
I remember someone on the forum saying that PDF isn't an eBook reading format. Apparently it still isn't.
