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.

I agree with you. The bigger the better. I described what I didnt like in Nook in Nooks' section so I would nt like to repost. Its a great device and I even liked LCD screen navigation. But it just does not serve my needs. I havent tested PDFs with removed margins in landscape mode on other devices but I think it should be quite readable in natural resolution. Nook is good for reading books in ePub in English and basically thats it. for 149 price cant complain but I d rather toss a coin and buy more powerful device with more features.
