... a reason for fitting that square peg in a round hole, for the likes of me, is this ... I have about 150 PDF articles outstanding that I have to read, (and about 400 filed). It is a bit of a pain having to extract the text to RTF then reprint them back to PDF in a different size, but I'm lucky enough to have Acrobat Pro, so have been able to automate this task (which makes it worth doing).
I'm not violating any laws by doing this (no DRM on my files) and for me the Iliad is great for reading these PDF's ... also with the new zoom feature, at a pinch I can read articles I haven't had time to convert ...
It's not perfect ... but it is usable and displaying PDF's is so useful because of amount of them. Of course in an ideal world everything would automatically be converted to something like oebps ... and we'd have a decent reader ... but for where we are right now this device makes existing documents more useful ...
