Hello! I am pretty much always a lurker, no matter the forum, email list, or whatever, but I decided to venture out of my shell enough to extend greetings, and to let you all know how much I have appreciated the information you have shared.

I have an old Rocket eBook, an old SmartBook (but I've lost track of its AC cable), an eBookwise eBook, several PDAs (the most recent of which is a Palm Tungsten T5), and I just bought a Sony PRS-500. I've tried a lot of different types of reader software on my PDAs and my computers. Right now, I've got eReader and Mobipocket on the T5, a few books in .rb format on the eBookwise reader, and a bunch of stuff on the Sony (primarily because of the Connect 100 classics promotion). I keep wondering if I made the right choice buying the Sony rather than forking out the really big bucks for an Iliad. I can see upsides and downsides either way.

Probably my biggest frustration with the Sony is the PDF problem. I've downloaded several free converters/modifiers/etc., but none of them solve the problem to my satisfaction. However, I like the Sony. I am still within the time limit of returning it, which would give me a better financial chance to get the Iliad, 2 ed., but I just can't seem to go through with it. Since Fictionwise has begun providing LRF format on so many titles, and I can see how well the Sony can work with its native format, I guess I'll be sticking with it for now. Also, booklights work pretty well with the Sony, but I have my doubts about how well they would work with the Iliad. For one thing, where would you attach a booklight on the Iliad?

Enough with boring y'all. And thanks again for all the help you've given me by answering the questions of others.

Joe
Can you link us to a PDF you want converted and we'll see what can be done with it.
