Is anyone willing to recieve two pdf files from me and take couple of pictures of how they look on the reader?

p,s
Its wrong of me, but I have posted the same question at another thread. Kind of desperate to find someone who can help me.

If the PDF is formated for an 8.5 x 11 or A4 page then the fonts will be much to small on the sony to be readable. However, there are tools you can find in the dev section or the wiki here that will allow you to re-format a PDF to fit the sony. Or, if you are building the PDFs your self and format it for the sony screen size it works great. This is how Sci-Az book store does there Sony supported format.

I don't mind taking a couple of pictures of your pdf files, but as Bob says, you have to format the pdfs to fit the 6" screen of the PRS-500.
Otherwise it's almost unreadable, the letters are very small.

Jswolf, my preference is for Arial, I found both Dutch and New Times Roman a little bit "too busy" for the small screen.
