This is what I have found to (implement the Sony PRS-500). Is that the Default format for this device is RTF not PDF. PDF is there to help you support the open standards and allow you some flexability to find materals. I have found that if I take a .PDF file and with Acrobat professional ($$$$) reformat the paper to 4X6, and select a bold font, Rename the document in the propertys section, then save as RTF. This works great. This assumes the author did not protect the content. (you can check this by seeing if the print button works), If it does then the reformating works. There is also a ocr fuction that you can use if this doesn't work. I know acrobat professional is expencive but it works.


What I would like to see is a single forum Page that lists all the tricks like above.

I have also used the .Lit converter and word to format so many books I can't load them all at once. and all of this in the last 2 weeks. It's not hard when there are easy "how to" instructions.

Here are the instructions for lit conversion:
Download the Lit converter and install install it.( you will find it in the forum) take a lit file and convert it RTF format, Load the file in Word, Change the paper size to 4x6. Select all and change the font to Bold, Use the properties to name the file and the author, then save the file as .RTF.

There is no shortage of content, just a shortage of easy to understand "how to" convert from one format to the other and what you should target as the best format to view on the reader it's self.

Ps: everything I have done is found on the pages of this forum, so the ideas are there but not in "easy to read" how to format. I am sure a little effort will go along way to make the reader a success.
