Neither my Iliad, nor any of my PDF viewers on any computer I have access have problems with the first two options. It is a matter of resizing for the viewer or printer (scale PDF fit to paper) and you're done. The US Letter format is not that much different from the A4 we use in the civilised world. I don't know about the latter two options, if they are just simplifications of the PDF standard, I don't care either because you can render those PDFs on other devices as well.
A PDF built for A4 will have very small type when viewed on an Iliad, or are you saying you can set negative margins so as to zoom into the page?
Precisely. Just tap on the zoom icon and draw a diagonal with the stylus for the viewing area and you can reduce the margins to zero. A4 readability is good enough, especially when the typesetting has been done in a reasonably professional manner, meaning no more than about 17 words per line and proper line spacing. BTW, you _can_ read an A4 PDF on the screen of an iPhone 4, I wouldn't recommend doing it for more than just a few lines, but it is doable. The screen of that device is that good. Regards, Walter
