That is because the pdf is NOT an e-book format. It is format for printing out the *exact layout* of a page. Most often it is A4 or letter sized page. With pdf file the zoom button will not help you. If you take a copier (Xerox) and make a copy of an A4 sized page so it would fit on a space 90x120mm (size of the Reader screen) it will be nearly unreadable as well.
Create a pdf file for page size 90x120mm.
Or, better yet, create an rtf file
Arial (or Helvetica font) size 16 points, no page margins, left justification, first line indentation 5mm, space after paragraph 2 points.
Load it up try various zoom levels.
EXPERIMENT with different sizes, margins, fonts (Times New Roman, for example), different justification.
Once you find THE perfect layout create a macro in a word processing program (such as OpenOffice.org writer or MSWord or other) so you can format your text with a pres of a button.
With rtf file the reader will use one of its three built-in fonts (sans serif, serif and monospaced) Those fonts are heavily hinted and look best on the e-ink screens.
