I am thinking of getting a 505 in the UK. I would use it mainly for medical texts which I have in PDF. I know there are problems.
If the native size is 6 x 9 inches for most of the texts, will I still have trouble. I know that 8 x11 gives a poor display.

I have read about pdflrf and dont mind putting a little time into optimising the texts.

Is there a way I can simulate what the text would look like (by fiddling with acrobat on the PC). I would like to check the output quality before commiting the cash.
Apart from pdflrf, what other, if any options should I look at........?

Or should I just get an iRex which looks a bit bulky and needs to boot up!

Thanks.
