I keep hearing how PDF documents are not meant for electronic readers, but the fact is that my iPaq device using Acrobat Reader 2.5 for Windows Mobile does very well with them, MUCH better than Sony.

If Foxit can do significantly better, than they have a future in this market. I'll look forward to see how this evolves.
Well, Considering the Sony PDF support before the recent upgrade, one should be happy with it. I find the PDF support on the SONY 505 adequate.

Also, many have stated that PDF is not a good format for 6" screens. Try converting your book to .lrf for example.
