I've been growing weary of taking epubs and other inferior files and converting them to PDF so they are more pleasant, especially as it takes a lot of manual interference with more complex pages.

However, the end result is usually worth it to me. I can't stand reading ePubs or LRFs on my Sony...Just swap the fonts with Comic Sans (I know some on these fora have already done that). Perhaps I'm a heartless child-hater, but I don't really want to spend $10 on a book that looks like it was typeset by a kindergarten student in FrontPage Express.

Perhaps in the future they won't look like such a joke, and I'll be able to download tolerable ePubs from conventional stores without all the extra hassle of making the books readable.
