Hi
These suggestions are useful, however the best seems to be not to use PDF but to convert to rtf. I recently loaded some text based PDFs onto my PRS-600. The font scaling feature had NO effect and to use the zoom even in landscape and keep the text readable meant small number of words in view and frequent panning right, left and down. Add to that the up down left right arrows which it appears must be there when in use (and blocking text) and the whole thing is really annoying. It's possible that I am missing something but I don't think so. Copy and paste into a blank Word document, save it and import it into Reader and life is MUCH easier. It's the one thing about the PRS-600 that has not lived up to my expectations. Do you think Sony intend to improve the software to handle these file types?
