Since there are no font or other formatting options with JBL, I have been creating pdfs, BUT the formatting on the reader is very inconsistent. One page will have a small font, another a larger font, then back to smaller font etc. Also the margin sizes vary. I have experimented with several page sizes and margin settings and always get inconsistent results.

If I look at any of these generated pdfs on my computer with Acrobat, they look fine. The inconsistency does not seem to be in the file, but in the JBL's interpretation of the file and in it's display. Any solutions?

PDFs were my last hope of having ANY formatting control whatever on this reader, and even that seems to fail. I bought 3 Jetbook Lites (2 gifts) after an initial evaluation of my own with the expectation that bugs would be eventually weeded out. I am beginning to really regret my unfounded trust.
