A lot of books come in PDF format, which I assume is going to be a problem for such a small ebook reader (PB302). I have tried the PDF conversion function in Calibre, but did not like it at all. I am currently using Calibre as my reader (in Windows), and the converted files are not good. Too many line feeds, for a start. From this, I am guessing that PDF is not the preferred format.
I mainly want to read novels. No technical manuals.

Try the converted PDF files on the 302. U can not take the calibre text flow as it is on the PB.
When u choose FBreader to view the files on the PB it takes its own algorithm to view the file. It ignores i.E. most of the tags when viewing.
So it look different.
Also play with the calibre conversion setting, I read all my novels in EPUB format. Converted out of a PDF-EPUB conversion with calibre.
