[Dr. Drib]

PDF is a problem that we would all like to see solved.

Basically, when you have a PDF-created file on your computer (DRM'd or not), what one sees is this [mostly] nicely formatted page, with graphics [or not], with different type styles [usually], and with a page that looks so nice on a computer screen.

Now: take any one of those beautiful pages that you admire and imagine it on a smaller screen. Therein lies "our" frustration when converting or reading a PDF-created file on the Reader.

When you add graphics, or two-columns to the mix, then it's easy to understand where further negative issues come into play about PDF on the Reader.

If you're having trouble actually loading a book on your desktop -- any book that the reader will accept - onto the Reader while the Reader is plugged into the USB port, then that's a different question - but very simple.

Please don't feel bad about not understanding some aspects of the Reader. Many of us have simply had the Reader longer than you....that may be the main difference.

Our Reader is perfect for Bbeb (it's resident format). Please look at the INDEX in the UPLOAD section [of Sony] here on MobileReade for a selection of over 600 titles absolutely free.

Also, I might that our Reader can load RTF files from Microsoft Word. Although it is somewhat disparaged here, I used it when I first bought my Reader, because I'm familiar with the RTF format. Although one can't embed links, in my opinion it's quite serviceable and easy to use and load onto the Reader.
