I can understand why you designed it that way, but for a novel it comes out looking a bit messy. I did try one more piece of software today called Able2Extract and it gave one of the worst outputs for conversions. Even so far as to mix up page orders and insert these huge blank spots. I really only have one PDF book with lots of images so it's no big deal, most others just had covers.
As for the Asus, this new device is an ereader meant to compete and squash Kindle. It isn't meant as another eeePC. Looks incredibly nice for the price it's being advertised at, supposed to come out this spring so we'll see if it follows through. If it's as nice as it looks, I'd take it over any ereader out there. Having dual page, touchscreen, and large displays at that price is incredible.
Hi sassanik, I didn't know Open Office supported PDF's. Unfortunately Word 2007 and such don't, even Microsoft themselves suggest some of the software mentioned here for working with PDF's. Surprised they don't have anything on the market to compete with Adobe and Foxit.
