Scientific American Digital PDFs on the PRS-505
Hey everyone,
I'm in the market for a PRS-505. One thing thats really caught my eye (and my potential purchase) is the Scientific American Digital subscription. http://www.sciamdigital.com/ I was wondering if anyone has tried these PDFs? Or, if someone could load the 20-page sample PDF onto their Sony PRS-505 and let me know how it turns out? That would be *awesome*  Here: http://www.sciamdigital.com/index.cf...omo&sc=I110459Thanks!

You can download the Sony "ebook library" software from their support site and give it a go. It will show you what a file will look like on the Reader. You can also preview what it looks like after more sophisticated formatting like that provided by the calibre software.
Cheers, Bob |

Plus... right now the download version of SciAm using Calibre is still completely free of charge, with no paid subscription required. As far as I can tell it has most of the major articles from the printed magazine.
