EDIT: I have the perfect trial: George Eliot's Middlemarch. It's 317,365 words. As good a test as any.

EDIT: I tried out the Adobe. I don't like it. It doesn't have anywhere near the flexibility of Mobipocket, and I actually found it a bit frustrating. I guess this is because Mobipocket is designed with ebooks in mind. I think I'll stick with it. I was disappointed at Adobe's limited preferences. Tell me if I'm missing something.

Probably the biggest problem I had was that turning pages is easier in Mobipocket. You simply press over to turn forward, and up to turn back. I like that. I couldn't find an easy way to turn back on Adobe. The only redeeming quality was that Adobe maintains page integrity (i.e. it scrolls through the full page before turning it). I might keep it just for the PDF option, though, especially where images are concerned.
