I looked at the Astak Pocket Pro, because Astak reads TIF without converting, but there is no dictionary or foreign language on the Pocket Pro, and I think I would prefer the ink technology of the Lite.
Unfortunately, as mentioned TIFF is an image file format, not an ebook format. Is it really important to have the pictures after all? IMO, it would be easier to just download what you need if these are all public domain titles (there are nicely formatted files right here on this site, FYI.)
