Hi there,

I saw this sony reader in the store the other day, did some research, and went and bought one today.

Trouble now, is I have a lot of ebooks already, in lots of different forms. The only books that the software seems to support are PDF and .txt (and probably that proprietary format that I'm not too interested in).

I have read through and tried to understand the different tools, but most are not very user friendly and I can't figure out what to do.

When I put my .pdf files on it, they of course look horrible -- how do I scale them down so they are readable on the screen?

What about .lit files, or the occasional "ebook" which is really just a html file with links to all the chapters?

Any help would be appreciated. Been 2 hours and I don't even have a book on it yet! I really like the idea of the device but I have quite a headache already.
