I tried converting a PDF (that was originally formatted for 8.5" x 11") using Cailbre into an EPUB document suitable for my Sony PRS-300. It didn't work very well. All kinds of formatting errors cropped up, lines of text were squashed together, that sort of thing.

I don't know whether this was because the original PDF wasn't generated correctly (it seemed to be OK), or because the PRS-300 just didn't like the file.

I'll keep trying with other PDF files and see what kind of success I have.
