Livingenzyme- if you create a pdf file you can use ANY font you want and any other formatting you want. You are not restricted to Arial or Verdana. I have quickly made pdf files that look exactly like a printed book with Times New Roman and single line spacing and they look fine on a computer, so the generated file is correct. In fact, they look like a printed book on the JBL as well, much more so than JBL's native formatting, EXCEPT 1 of of 10 pages that changes the font size. It is the inconsistency I am trying to account for. The device should display the pdf file according to the file contents, not as it pleases. This is a glitch that should be fixed, not ignored because the reader did not cost $500. Furthermore, I do not believe that ALL book readers have inconsistent pdf rendering, just because you say so. Perhaps, but I doubt it.
