As Andurian said, US comic books and all O'Reilly books that I have converted for the Sony 500 have been unreadable. The 6" (diag) screen does not have the resolution or size to allow me to view the page and understand what I am reading. Even splitting the page into pieces still results in something barely usable.
The only success I have had with PDF files have been those that are almost pure text (or where the graphics are not important) that can be converted to the Sony native format (LRF) or custom sized PDFs.
For my own use I plan to investigate Plastic Logic's new reader due out in 2009 that features a letter sized (or maybe an A4 sized) screen. Even with that size of screen I know that I will still want the ability to magnify PDF files and graphics to see more detail.
Good luck in your quest. Please keep us informed on your search.
