Hi!
I'm sooo close to plonking down some cash and getting a Sony Reader. I would like to use the reader to read pdf files -- Journals nowadays distribute their articles in pdf format, which I usually download to my computer and read offline.

I've read that pdfs aren't very readable unless you convert them in some way. Academic journals already use a relatively small font (at least to me its small). Does anyone have a picture they could post showing how small the text would become on a reader (unconverted)?

Also, does anyone out there have experience with converting Journal PDF articles for use with the Reader? I'm not sure if there is any security in those PDFs that might prevent me from converting them.

thanks!
