I'd certainly give up on any magazine arranged like that.

(For this one, I'd just deal with reading it on the 6" screen. But I like tiny fonts, and that wouldn't be nearly as much nuisance to me as reformatting.)
Thats how I feel about pdf conversion these days.When I first got the reader nearly a year ago I was keen to see if I could get good results from conversion but the effort is too time consuming so now If a quick run through mobi pocket creator then calibre yields a more readable file I'll put that onto the Sony reader but if its worse I put up with the pdf.
