Making a PDF for the Sony Reader

I opened a Microsoft Word "doc" file in OpenOffice. I resized the pages throughout the document (there were 3 sections) to 3.57" x 4.82" (90.6mm x 122.4mm). I exported the file as a PDF.

When opened with Adobe Acrobat and viewed "Actual Size", the PDF document looked appropriately sized for the Sony Reader.

When transferred to the Reader, the pages looked just fine. It appeared they could be displayed in two sizes, though the sizes were not too dissimilar. They were also quite readable in landscape mode.

It seems that, if desired, PDFs can be created easily by this method.

Next I used OpenOffice to load an HTML file. I changed the page format to the above measurements and exported the file as a PDF document. This file contained images. The result was usable and readable on the Sony Reader. The pages fit the Reader screen as expected.
