It sure does. However, without jailbreaking you won't be able to view your files off line and you will have to be connected to wifi while reading. Jailbreaking just gives you access access to the ipod so you can store files on it and view them off line.

I have found a Safari limitation though, it does not open pdf files above 8-10 mb (exact number to be confirmed). It isn't much of a problem for me as most of my ebooks are below that size limit (apart from comics and graphic novels).

The nice thing is that Safari enables you to view pdfs in portrait mode which is pretty nice
