Letter-sized Word docs, for instance, display at such a small font that they are for all intents and purposes illegible. Although you have some font resizing control, it generally only allows you 3-4 font size settings with most formats. Different formats also render differently, varying in font type, line spacing, paragraph indents, etc, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to see some examples of formats displayed by the Pocket PRO, so you know what to expect before you buy.
Did you try any FB2 formatted books? On the BeBook1 (Hanlin V3) this is the best format for display, and although I haven't used a V5 Clone I would expect a similar capability. Just curious... because you would probably find FB2 giving you the most flexibility with controlling how the book is displayed.
