Hello, I've been a member of this forum since I received my 2nd gen.

When I got it I was stoked because I have a bunch of e-books in PDF form, but as I learned quickly it renders them like crap. I have tried a number of conversion methods (PDFRead, PDFill, Mobipocket Creator) and still it seems they don't render well. Often times it looks the same or if I convert to html the breaks in pages are totally off.

I wanted to ask is there a simple way to deal with this? Is there any sure fire conversion methods that will make a PDF readable (in converted format) on this darn device?

Lately I've found rotating the device to landscape but that seems to require hitting "next page" a lot more.

With this constant frustration I'm considering ditching this device for one that is more PDF friendly, but I wanted to see if there was any insight before I took a drastic measure.
