Yeahbut...

That doesn't mean it *can't* support PDFs at all, just that - as with any 6" eInk display - it does a shitty job of displaying large-page (A4, etc) PDF pages.

I've got Acrobat Pro and Serif PagePlus 12 and both of them allow me to create docs formatted to the screen size that both Sony and Cybook use. The problem isn't that Cybook can't display them at all, just that most commercially available PDF files are not formatted for that screen size.

But I don't care as I use my eInk device for reading novels and most of them I've wanted to read (Now counting over 6,000 titles.) are available in eReader, Mobipocket or MS Reader format.

And, yes, I've done a lot of extracting text and graphics from PDF books lately so that I can run them through BookDesigner for the Sony. Makes reading many of those photoshop tutorials quite nice.
