Please Test: Final (?) Art of War custom PDF eBooks

I apologize for starting a separate thread for this, but given that I have (unless I get some good suggestions) finished work on 8 custom PDF eBooks, I think they appropriately belong in a new thread.

Please test the appropriate files on the appropriate devices. The PDF files are named by the screen size they are meant for and the font size they use.

Sony Readers, Cybooks, HanLin eBooks, Kindle 2, and other 6 inch screen eBook readers:

taowde_6in_10pt.pdf (6 inch screen / 10 pt font size)
taowde_6in_12pt.pdf (6 inch screen / 12 pt font size)

iRex iLiad and other 8 inch screen eBook readers:

taowde_8in_10pt.pdf (8 inch screen / 10 pt font size)
taowde_8in_12pt.pdf (8 inch screen / 12 pt font size)

iRex Digital Reader, Amazon Kindle DX, Astak Mentor, and other 10 inch screen eBook readers:

taowde_10in_10pt.pdf (10 inch screen / 10 pt font size)
taowde_10in_10pt_ls.pdf (10 inch screen / 10 pt font size / 2 col. landscape)
taowde_10in_12pt.pdf (10 inch screen / 12 pt font size)
taowde_10in_12pt_ls.pdf (10 inch screen / 12 pt font size / 2 col. landscape)

---

For the 10 inch screen devices, I recommend trying the landscape versions. You might have to explicitly orientate your device to view the PDF landscape. Or, if the landscape PDFs should automatically appear "sideways", let me know and I will fix them accordingly.

Any other suggestions for any other files/editions would be greatly welcome. I promise this will be my last "please test" thread for the foreseeable future.

Thanks everyone, and enjoy what may be the only free online version of this translation of Sun Tzu's Art of War that does not insinuate aquatic training to be a necessity for spies. (The Project Gutenberg edition, along with seemingly anything and everything that used the same as its source material [including quite a few great selling paperback books], have a long-standing mistake in the very last sentence of the book: "Spies are a most important element in water, because on them depends an army's ability to move." Needless to say, the correct version of the bolded text is "in war".)
