From what little I have read about it (since seeing alexibm's post yesterday
) DjVU is supposed to have better image compression than PDF's. Here is some good info about it, if anyone is interested:

The smaller readers can't do justice to the DjVU format anymore than they can display PDF's, as already stated by eLink. I can't find any information about eReaders that natively support the DjVU format; it seems to be mostly for Web sites and some smart phones with a DjVU reader app. Most sites talk about converting the DjVU eBook into a PDF document, which seems to defeat the purpose of getting an eBook in DjVU format in the first place.
Since Amazon refuses to support ePub, I don't imagine they will every "allow" their eReaders to support DjVU - after all, it is, thus far, a free technology so Amazon won't be able to buy it.
So, alexibm, as daffy4u said, you need to return your Kindle 3 and get the DXG, if you want to stick with Amazon eReaders. Or you could sell your Kindle here and buy some other eReader which fully suports PDFs or buy an iPad!
