		<description>I just picked up a PRS-505 for the soul purpose of reading manga.  I thought that I would post my thoughts here, since this is just about the only relevant information I can find about using the Sony Reader for manga.

It works well, when it works.  The biggest issue is that the player has a real hard time opening large PDFs.  It just freezes and requires a reset to get it going again.  Luckily, there is one thing that can really help here; Acrobat Professional 8 has an option to reduce the filesize of a pdf (Document -&#62; Reduce Filesize).  This commonly cuts the filesize roughly in half which can take a pdf from Reader-Killer to Reader-Friendly.  It should be common practice to run all PDFs through this option after getting done with Manga2Ebook.  I've found, thus far, that 35 MB is about the maximum that the Reader can take; I haven't been able to load one larger than that yet.

I have also found that some PDFs just don't work.  The exhibit the same freezing behavior as really large PDFs.  I've had this happen with files as small as 3 MB.  I don't have any clue why that's happening.

Other than that, though, things are going real great so far.  The only other major issue is one with scanners and not the player; if the manga is scanned with two pages per image it will be to small to read.  Unfortunately the only option for this is to manually divide the pages before compiling the PDF.  I have yet to decide what my solution to this problem is going to be.

Thanks for the Manga2Ebook app.  It certainly has helped to speed up my conversion process.</description>
