[QUOTE=pcinfoman;87252]On my PC, I can tell the pdf document to display at 50%. Can I do this on the Reader? Or am I stuck with scrolling or converting the document?[quote]
You can't reduce the PDF any more then it already is. No need really. A PDF on the Sony does not scroll like it can on your PC. But there are tools such as PDRasafarian (sp?) or PDFRead that can be used to fix up the PDF so they are more readable.

Happy to help. It does make it easier to make an informed decision if you have enough information ahead of time.

If your PDB books do not have DRM, yes you can convert them to work on the Sony Reader. If they have DRM, then you cannot. No e-ink reader at present supports DRM eReader format books.

Yes, the Sony Reader has a button labeled MARK that is used to bookmark. And it will work on PDF as well as BBeB (LRF (no DRM)or LRX (with DRM)).
Any other questions, feel free to ask. As for converting, we have some very good programs... libprs500 that inclused html2lrf and other useful tools such as pdf2html and pdf2lrf, Book Designer, Pielef, PDRastefarian (sp?), and PDFRead. So you should ahve little trouble getting content onto your reader.
