Now you understand why most people here dislike PDF as an ebook format. PDF is very much a fixed format/size, page-based format. It has been retrofitted with a method to get text to reflow, but it never works very well.

Always go for ePUB or LRF or LIT or Mobipocket. The first two work natively on your 505 and the last two can have the DRM stripped and can then be converted by Calibre.

Avoid PDF. Perhaps you might be able to persuade diesel to give you a refund or swap the format.
