I'm looking for an 8" or bigger ereader to read pdfs and other things that benefit from a larger screen.

Does the Kindle handle pdfs well?

And to be more specific: could it handle pdfs like the ones available on www.archive.org?

Suppose, for instance, I'd like to read this book on an ereader:
http://www.archive.org/details/balza...sdro00balziala

Does the Kindle handle that smoothly?

(These pdfs are rather heavy, even on my regular PC it can take a while before they load. But they are beautiful renditions of old editions!)
