I have read about 25 books on the reader since I got it at Christmas. They have all been RTF files pushed through Word (first thing that popped into my head to set the file properties - title, author,etc). I usually set the font at a 12 point Times Roman or Tahoma.

I just finished "Something From The Nightside" by Simon Green. I read the book with the size set to Medium (12 point Times Roman). At that size I can easily read the text from 4 feet away in good lighting conditions. With those settings the reader has the book at 181 pages. I have no idea how long the paperback of the dead tree version would be.

Hopefully that gives you a slightly better idea about how the reader presents the material.

Enjoy
