First of all, hello to the forums. I just got my JBL on Thursday and have been reading non-stop.

Ron46, I'm interested in experimenting with pdf's as well. What program are you using to modify the .pdfs? Is there any free software that would allow this kind of editing? Ideally, I would like to choose a font that I enjoy, justify the text, and have a small margin on the left and right side.

Also, I've heard in other rumblings around the internet (who can remember where) that saving the .pdf to the proper dimensions of the JBL's screen would alleviate formatting problems.

After some experimenting it may become obvious that using .epub is still the way to go, due to being able to easily re-size the text. Then again, a properly justified text with nice margins may be more desirable.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
