Like Bob, I'm using rtf as well - it seems more flexible and better looking than pdfs, at least for plain text.

As a Mac user, though, there's the drawback that the first time the file is accessed on the Reader (without using the Connect software), it takes a few moments to format it... and for a large file, like a Dickens novel, this can take a while. It needs to do this for each of the three size variations.

Once it's done, though, it remembers it. It's really no big deal, and I'm loving my Reader. Gads, what a great device! Last night I did my first bathtub read... I know I'll use it a lot through the cold New England winter.
