Unfortunately--

1. Pdfs have become the standard format for scans of older books, for scientific papers, for game rules, etc.

2. Most of the pdfs are incompatible with older e-readers.

3. Newer e-readers and tablets may be too small, incompatible with users' accessibility needs, and/or incompatible with users' budgets.

So I for one end up pre-processing pdfs for my Kindle Dx. So far, I avoid importing the originals, and only import the processed versions.

I assume some of you are in similar situations, so do you find it helpful to import the originals or not...?
