You can also crop PDFs and put em in landscape mode but again...Nook does not have landscape mode either.

I read the original post saying "It just becomes annoying as lines are cut and spread out", this obviously was referring to text-based PDF files whose font when enlarged puts line breaks and page breaks all over the places. I really doubt a mere landscape mode can fix that. PDF by nature inherently is a page-level formatting document container whose font type and size is fixed in an intended layout and whose fonts are not meant to be enlarged. I really doubt any reader can enlarge the font and at the same time keep decent layouts and properly wrapped lines and get rid of hard line breaks that were integrated in the original PDF. To achieve that, one would think the screen will need to be bigger enough to hold the original page layout and the content still readable, there are very very few such portable readers out there that has such a big screen except for the Kindle DX and an iPad.
