Two ideas.

1. There is a recently updated firmware for the 505 that updates the PDF reflow algorithms, so that might be a problem. (check that link or check in your ebook store software*1)

2. Try converting to RTF. RTF is my format of choice*2 for the 505. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46784

Good luck.


*1 Open the Sony eBook Store, then click on "The Sony Reader" at the top-right, then scroll toward the bottom to get the 1.1 firmware update. "Enables text with PDF eBooks to be "reflowed". This will enlarge the text and improve the readability of text-based PDF's"

*2 Subjectively, it seems that the page turns are faster AND the formatting reflows are better than native PDF.
