But as soon as I got one yesterday, I realized the stock rendering of scanned PDF files was just unbelieveably disgusting.

I jailbroke the device, installed the KoReader, and now, reading PDF's in landscape mode is nothing but pleasure. The scanned characters are so well processed that even the portrait mode is fine. Even footnotes in portrait mode are decently readable (if you have good eyes). The problem is gone. I am amazed at what the devs have achieved and I'm happy as a child.

(oh, and I'm not talking about reflown text, I mean PDF's as they are!)
