I am wondering why standard 8.5x11 PDFs don't display well (or so I've heard). I get my reader in around 15 hours from now, so I can figure it out then, too...but the question is that since the resolution is quite high, it seems like it could show a complete page, just without the sharpness and everything would be tiny.

I have the iPaq HX4700 and it has a 480x640 4" screen. It can display incredibly small text...almost enough to show an entire page. The reader has 600x800 resolution if I'm not mistaken. Oh well, I guess I'll see soon enough.
