But they have never mentioned that you will have to create the files by yourself?
If any gadget in todays world claims that it can support PDFs, it means it supports pdf files the way they are. It is a very misleading statement: I support PDF, without saying that actually you will have to customise every single pdf file you have at the moment.
If I buy a DVD player that claims it supports XVID, then my expectations are that when I insert a CD with xvid.avi file on it, it will be played. I would be very angry if I learned after buying the player that I have to convert a world wide acceptable xvid.avi file into mp2 or mp4. That's is what you have to do with pdf files on sony reader, you have to convert world wide accepted file format them into a proprietary sony pdf version.
Today, I understand that it is impossible technically, but it doesn't make it a true statement on sony's behalf that it can support it without any further warnings.
