The answer is to select your text from a PDF using Foxit (or another PDF program that is not horrible like Adobe allowing almost no options) and copy/paste it to a blank TXT document. TXT files are wonderfully fast on ereaders and allow full text control. Make sure you set Word Wrap to off of course otherwise you'll have truncated, space wasting, blank spots on some lines. The Kindle DX is probably the best choice if you have to view graphics because you can orientate it to Landscape mode so this, along with the larger 9.7" screen, makes it workable sometimes. PDF's are just a nightmare to view on ereaders. They are basically a photo snapshot of a page so one needs to convert the characters to a text based system so the viewing of the words can be controlled.

Practice this PDF conversion and you will find it very fruitful.
