I agree, Harry, it won't be an optimal solution at all.
A better solution, I think, might be a tablet plus a wireless USB router. D-Link, and others, make these. The hard disk could be connected to the router, and the PDFs are available over the network as needed/desired.

But I also question why an external HD at all? How many GB of data are we talking about, here? Wouldn't choosing a tablet with a larger internal HD be a better solution? Certainly that would be my first choice.
