My point was essentially this: All eReaders are more like paper than a computer, in that they are ultimate destinations for reading material. Apart from minor things such as (vector) scribbles, you don't really create/modify documents on an eReader or move them to another destination (a computer/printout), and I don't really see this becoming a major use for eReaders in the immediate future. So basically, "device indepentent" formats are overkill for readers. This is what slows things down and what not...
Images are great in that they are not device independent and are more like paper, hence my interest in a viewer for them. What would be even better is a format with image+text, because unlike paper which has been the "ultimate destination" for mankind's document needs so far, eReaders are ultimate destinations that CAN SEARCH TEXT

Yes, I can quickly see my collection becoming a nightmare of folders with huge numbers of images, I'll investigate a CBR viewer port.
What did you mean "to avoid conversions"? Are you averse to the idea of auto-converting documents to an optimal form? This should be no different from "printing" to a paper, the printout is a "conversion" of your original document after all

Thanks for the tip, I was wondering why part of my page was clipped in 100% view
