PDF is actually the
best ebook format, but only if the PDF was made specifically for your device, and ideally, made by you yourself.
PDFs only have a bad reputation because people try to read PDFs not made for ereaders, but instead made for printing on letter or A4 sized paper on their e-reader screens, and then it doesn’t work so well. This is not a fault of the format. It’s just trying to do something that no one ever intended you to be able to do. (But hey, more power to you.) That said, if you can’t afford one of the larger ebook screens like the DX, following
the tips here my help make this a little more feasible.
I’m not sure what you mean by “handling PDFs well”, but every ebook reader I know of is capable of presenting PDFs perfectly well.
On the other hand, many popular ebook readers
don't handle ePub properly, even when the ePub was properly made.
