You'll likely get better results from RTF than from PDF.  That's been my experience in the past although I haven't tried it on the ARM specifically.  It's even simpler to get the epub version from Ada-Europe as Dirk suggests.  My opinion after a brief look at it is that it's very usable.  Nitpicks would include lack of margins, which can be annoying and distracting on some e-readers but which can be easily changed by converting from epub to epub (default of 0.5pt margins) in Calibre.  The table of contents is a bit ugly and could also be changed or deleted if it bothers you. 

As previously posted two Cambridge Press books on Ada are available as ebooks from ebooks.com, Kobo, Amazon, etc.  Amazon is a bit less expensive if you can deal with azw format.  Calibre can convert that to epub even if you don't have a Kindle with better than acceptable results.  I'll echo a previous recommendation of Programming in Ada 2012 by John Barnes as a very reasonable place to start.
