Formatting PDFs for handheld computers

I just recently received the use of a Palm Pilot through work, and I have discovered the wonder of Adobe Reader for the Palm. I read Ron's "Mongrel" on the Palm and I had sent Clinton's "Paladin" across. However, a regular PDF doesn't always translate well to the Palm, primarily due to fancy formatting. Has anyone considered laying out a separate version of a PDF game specifically for the Palm? Any advantages to doing this? Any reason why this is a silly idea? Just curious if anyone else out there has thought about this.

PDFs for Palm

I've actually been working at creating PDFs for Palm. Nothing worth showing yet but when I have it working I'll update all of my PDFs to include a Palm version.
