What do you mean scan?

I don't know how a scanned pdf will work until I try it. I have a feeling it will have to processed as images.

Will it not work if it is processed as images? Want me to attach a book so you can try it? Let me know.

If you're going to be heavy on the PDFs, you may want to get a Kindle DX which is larger and reads PDF files natively. It's designed for academics and heavy newspaper readers.

Well... if I get an ereader, it will probably be a birthday present, and my birthday is in seven days. The DX isn't coming out until "this summer." Moreover, I'm not sure if I could afford it, and even if I could, I don't think I'm willing to spend that much money on basically a bigger Kindle 2 that can read PDFs - personally, I think the Kindle 2 should come standard with native PDF support. In a year or so, there will probably be much better ereaders, so I don't want to spend a ton of money.
I've been debating over whether to get the Sony PRS-505, PRS-700, or the Kindle 2. (See my other thread if you want to help!) The big stumbling block I was having with the Kindle 2 is the fact that it does not natively support PDF or DOC, since I have a lot of books in PDF format, and want to read articles and blog posts on it - which I would put into DOC format or RTF. That's why I made this thread. I still don't really know what to think.
Speaking of DOC or RTF files, how do they come out on the Kindle 2 typically? Do you have any scans as an example?
I downloaded the book, so you can delete it.
