PDF files have limitations on being shown on a smaller screen. This is regardless of the liseuse (e-book reader) being used. I am in the midst of shifting to Bebook/Openinkpot (a freeware reading firmware consortium) as my primary liseuse. All the software has implemetation problems/limits, so it is a matter of which set of limits you'er the most comfortable with.

For example, SONY's doesn't support HTML and supports RTF only without pictures. Kindle is very amazon centered, although you can load mobipocket (.prc) files onto it. No HTML or RTF. Bebook has various firmwares available, each with their own set of issues. Openinkpot handles HTML, RTF without pictures, TXT, and PRC, but it's still beta with features being added and bugs fixed. It's stable enough for my use, so I'm converting all my RTF files to HTML, which takes time.

Hope this helps.
