But yes and now for the manual tweaking. It's a one-time thing to get the setting you like and then it can be done all the time for all books.
Sure, if these functions were in the software provided with the Reader, I could ignore the CPU time penalty. The biggest PDF support problem is the lack of support for PDF eBooks. We wouldn't have to wonder if the CONNECT store had The_DaVinci_Code, or some other book, because we could buy it from all the other eBook vendors. We can't get the tools we need because Adobe and Sony would have to make the tools for publishers to have confidence that their DRM wishes were upheld. Not that I think they have reasonable DRM desires, but the Reader will always have source issues a long as it requires a Sony business deal with every publisher. Those folks already made deals with Adobe, what do they want another contract to maybe sell a few copies to a very small population. As a member of that population, I have to be willing to see their business position.
