I'm testing a PRS-600 at work for a possible factory (clean-room) doc reader. I have about 3000 pdf files taking about 3GB of storage just for one equipment group. The files are in separate equipment folders on a network drive that we normally access using a windows based PC and acrobat reader.
Should I leave the files as pdfs, or convert them to a better format for the sony reader? Many of the files are large format 11x17 scans and contain a large amount of electronic circuits and wiring so there will be lots of zooming. I have a master index of the files that matches the title to a 10 digit file name for the pdfs so creating index/metadata conversion for a batch operation should be possible..
