Also, PDF's generated from FeedBooks or ManyBooks are particularly nice.
I have read some novels that display OK in landscape mode when the margins are removed. I just have to remember which is the scroll button and the next-page button - but it reads well.

I've formatted books from ManyBooks according to the jetBook screen specs and they come out great!

So, although PDFs are not ideal -they can display well in some cases, actually easier to read than on my 9" tablet which shrinks the page to fit 1 screen.
