The reason that Plastic Logic can supply this is that it runs WinCE, and so has a reader app provided by MicroSoft.
Ok, I still don't think displaying the document would be any different regardless of what format it is stored in. I think a complex doc in .html that can be displayed would also be displayable from a .doc file. It really is about the complexity of the layout not the container of the data and markup that is important.
