I will be receiving my PRS-505 next week and look forward to use it with PDF files. This thread has been very helpful and I will certainly investigate ABBYY PDF Transformer and PDFRead.

So far I have been reading PDF on a Windows Mobile Pdaphone, I had good result with these three software :

- Before converting a PDF I do a "cleanup" of all part that are usually messed up by the converter : Editor Logo, index, pages with publication information etc. The best software I found so far is Foxit PDF Editor. I found it better than the Adobe suite for such tasks.

- Then I convert it to Html with Mobipocket Creator.

- Finally if the images extracted by Mobipocket Creator are too big (Big image are hard for my 200mhz Tomap processor), I convert then all to a smaller resolution using Photoscape batch editor . Photoscape is also a freeware.

The result are quite good for single colum PDF, though the end of page notes and the photos legende are generally messed up. Stilln It's quite usable and sufficient for my personal use.

If the PDF have a lot of images, mathematical formula, colums, etc. then I will convert it instead to Rgo. It's far better and faster than using the native PDF reader available for Windows Mobile.
