Yep, I did the pdf thing and it seems to work- just extra work.

Regarding Linux, I've had the Lite for a few weeks or so, and have moved books onto the SD card. But sometimes I encounter a problem where the unit requires a reset because the jetbook file manager will not delete files. One time I got a corrupted book file as well, and another time it could not find the book I selected on the menu, even though it was there on the SD card. I am not sure if this is related to Linux or not.

But I keep a folder on Windows with the books I have on the SD drive. The quick fix for the above problem was to reformat the SD card (FAT) in Windoze and copy back the books. If one has an abiding hatred of Windows and will only use Linux, he might have problems with this book reader. Even though the firmware code is Linux, I think the user side is more optimized for Windoze due to Microsoft's overwhelming market share.
