Once converted the converted document can be transferred to the ebook reader. I've seen how this software converts PDF's and it's not at all readable for the manuals that I get from the vendors.

I've been a fan of ebooks since the Palm Pilot days. Today I'm quite happy to read a complete novel on my iPod Touch with ebook software. However what I'd really like to be able to do is read technical PDF's provided by vendors without having to open them on my PC. I've heard that other ebook readers require users to convert PDF's before reading with 3rd party software. Once converted the converted document can be transferred to the ebook reader. I've seen how this software converts PDF's and it's not at all readable for the manuals that I get from the vendors. What will be the process for getting PDF's to the Nook device? Is it just a matter of copying the files to a removable storage card on my PC/Mac and then inserting the card into the Nook? Or do I need to go through a conversion process first? Can I take highlight text and add notes to the PDF's? Will those notes be viewable inside of the PDF when I copy them back to my PC/Mac? Are the notes readable in Adobe Acrobat and Mac Preview? Can I open password protected PDF's on the nook? Thanks I’ve been considering a dedicated ebook reader. I’ve been a fan of ebooks since the Palm Pilot days.
