Depending on the layout, I have some PDF files that I can read with no problem showing the standard "portrait" mode. If the text is small, the rotated screen and scrolling up/down works very well.

If you have text-only PDF that are actually embedded text and not scanned JPG images, use one of the free PDF extractors out there to pull the text out to just a TXT file. I have done this for several books. Depending on the way it was made into a PDF, sometimes the text -only file is smaller and sometimes it is larger.

I am really enjoying the jetbook lite that I have and have been showing it off. So far the only negative comments by those I show it to have been along the line of "why no wifi connectivity?"

If this is not important to you, a jetbook would make a very nice reader.
