Steve, can you attach a reflowable PDF please? I'd love to try it with the Sony.
That said, most PDF are set for printing and do not reflow. PDF as an ebook format was one of the biggest cockups that Adobe has efer done. It's not an ebook format at all. It's a piss poor ebook format on a portable handheld device. And converting PDF to something else doesn't always properly work. Even Acrobat can screw it up. Take Harry Potter 7. I've seen the PDF of it. The first few paragraphs looks fine when viewed as a PDF. But convert it from PDF and they end up running together. I have no idea why this is, but even Acrobat cannot get it right.
I see people say they get PDF from work. Well, what format are the original documents in? Most of the time it's some Word document. And that is usually fairly simple to convert to look good on the reader.
Bookeen (sp?) just announced that it's initial release of the Gen3 won't have PDF support. Smart thing to do since if you can't get it right, don't do it.
