I've been considering trying to reformat some of my latex based papers to create pdfs of the right size and putting them up on the web. A friend has an iRex DR1000S ebook reader, which has a much bigger display and is fine for reading A4 size pdfsof academic papers, so that might be another option.

As far as I can tell from the specs, it would really be best to have pdf's formatted in a very particular way, but it wasn't clear to me whether or not arbitrary pdf's would be workable at all.
