If anyone's willing, it would be nice to have some pictures of the Sony being a naughty little reader. You know, just for educational purposes.

P.S. - Why is the Reader gallery totally empty?
When you have RTF and TXT files with poor line breaks, usually that is referring to files that have hard returns in the middle of paragraphs.

As for PDF. The Sony has a 6" screen. PDF is means for 8.5"x11" printing in most cases. Now that with (in a lot of cases) silly wide margins (that you MS Word for poor default margins that a lot of people have no clue on how to change) and you get a fairly unreadable PDF when it is reduced down.
