2 PDFs are more than enough: 90x120 for 5"-6" screens, and the bigger one for bigger screens - and the second one is the pdf you've already sent to the pressman, so you simply have to make one pdf.

You're telling me that you can't change the font size with PDFs. You know that's not true. You can't do it on a Cybook (and maybe on any Netronix EB600 clone - I'm not sure which), but you know that you can do it on a Hanlin (and clones: BeBook, Astak, Papyre, Lbook and so on). You can do it on a Sony.
