That's exactly what I found out and now only use Mobipocket Creator or PDFRead (or similar freeware).

As for the PDF's I'm working with, unfortunately copyright would be an issue. See I just recently got into ereaders, so the first thing I did was basically go around finding ebooks (rapidshare, etc.) of all the books I own in paperback. Whether or not that is justifiable would be up to you, but I don't believe in buying the same product twice just to have it in different formats. I've only downloaded ebooks of ones I own on paperback though, if that makes it seem any more... acceptable? Just the problem is most people upload novels and such in PDF format, rarely ever in just html and those which convert nicer.

My main reader, REB1200, supports color and a bit bigger screen than the EBW1150. The extra size increase makes it is almost legible when dealing with Letter-sized .pdf ebooks, but only when I rotate and slice them. As an example what PDFRead can do, I offer below just a sample of THE .pdf ebook that STUMPED me when trying to convert from .pdf to non-pdf ebook format for reading on my EBW1150 or REB1200. That ebook is freely available from
here and caused me to become interested in the PDFRead project!

Either way, thanks for the help here. I'll just stick with mobipocket then I guess and do without images, no big loss.

Well, I too prefer ebooks with images, and Mobipocket ebooks available in our E-Books Upload forum do have many such examples. Just use Mobi2IMP to properly convert them into .imp ebooks and you'll be somewhat sated.
Please note that the .imp ebooks ending with '_1150.imp' are for your EBW1150 and the ones wnding with '_1200.imp' are for my REB1200. Both can be viewed on a computer by double-clicking them after downloading them (this assumes though that you have eBook Publisher from ETI installed).
