Good point - I had not thought about that, though to be frank I object to DRM on principle and would never buy a book if it only came out as a DRM'ed PDF anyway - the few scientific papers I tried as PDF were not protected luckily.

It's not just the resetting each page - you also loose the ability to annotate and to simply skip to the next portion of the screen - meaning you're constantly having to move the zoomwindow manually to the next portion of the text. In landscape mode and with the margins trimmed a few PDF's I tried became marginally readable, but only just. If reading PDF's which you cannot convert for whatever reason is the main argument for getting an eReader, I strongly advice getting something big enough to display a page completely or at least full-width (in landscape mode).
