Digital Editions may not be any better on an e-ink display than the Cybook's PDF support. The Windows MobiPocket Reader imports PDFs and exports a MOBI file, but reflowing standard PDFs is difficult and so the results vary from document to document. The other option is to convert the PDF to images off-line (e.g. on a Mac or PC). The newest tool is pdflrf, but its only output option is LRF for the Sony. There are other tools, see Rasterfarian, pdfread and pdflrf. A comparison. It should be easy to extend these tools to support other e-ink readers. There is, however, a limit to what can be done on a 6" screen.
