True, false? Coudl calibre convert a 20 meg text book pdf with images so that i could more or less easily read it on the prs-300?
Every conversion program I've seen (including Calibre) has problems converting most PDF docs to ePub (or other format) for use on a 5 or 6 inch reader.

Test it out before you buy. Install Calibre and convert the docs your talking about. Then view them on the built in ebook viewer in Calibre. If the result is suitable, great!

If your textbook has multiple columns or extensive graphics it would most likely be best viewed on a large reader with proper pdf support.
