I am considering purchasing an EcoReader. As well as using it as a book reader in the usual way, I am very interested in using it by purchasing and using guide book chapters from Lonely Planet. I think this would be a great way of saving luggage weight when travelling, and the Ecoreader seems to fit the bill.
The free download files on the Lonely Planet site, in PDF format, are untagged, and I am assuming that the purchase files are also untagged.

I am new to this technology (e-Books), but I get the impression that the text of untagged PDF files does not flow when zoomed on an EcoReader or the like, but the whole page and its text are made smaller or larger.

Am I right in thinking this? Does anyone have experience of using the Lonely Planet files (or similar) in the manner I am contemplating?

Any advice welcome.
