It really doesn't look great in PDF. I don't know what PDF viewer you're using, but for anyone with a different screen resolution or zoom setting than yours, it'll look bad.
If I create PDF with the file you just uploaded using OpenOffice, the PDF looks OK at 100% zoom, where the resolution of the image matches the original, but if I either zoom in or zoom out, it looks terrible. I'd guess you think it looks good as a PDF just because your normal PDF software is set to 100% zoom, whereas Sony Reader software's PDF viewer is set to a different zoom setting. See if zooming in or out makes a difference.
I highly recommend trying to obtain the text as text, and not use screen-capture to acquire it. Certainly it's not worth it for the torn page effect. (Probably you could add an image of the torn page bottom at the bottom of the text if you really wanted.)
Is there some reason you have to obtain the text via screen-capture?
