I'm pretty sure with the latest official firmware it does do epub and pdf.

I run OpenInkpot on mine which definitely reads epub and pdf though you have to strip any DRM. PDF is a bit pointless on a 5" device in my opinion though.

Not a bad little reader, it's served me well over the last year or so. I mainly got it to run OpenInkpot though so I can't comment too much on the official firmware.

I had one until fairly recently, but I sold it for £90. The official firmware does support epub, both DRM restricted and free. There's quite a few different versions of the official firmware, a lot of people say the German one is the best (it also supports English and other languages). If you don't need DRM support, I would go for Open Inkpot, it will also read mobi files. You can switch back to the official firmware if you want to sell it or send it back under warranty.
