It was a library e-book, so I didn't have any control, and since it's DRM locked, I couldn't try to re-format it. Had this been a free PDF, I'd have played around with it in Calibre and seen what I could do to fix it up a bit.

As to the other poster's question of giving up on a badly formatted file type--my point is that I already had a pretty good idea that PDFs don't work very well on a smaller screen, so if i can avoid them, that's going to be the plan. Can't see the point to making reading harder if it doesn't have to be.

I also noted that I'm quite capable of reading anything badly formatted if i really want to, as the internet has never been known as a perfectly formatted paradise.
