Would be nice if it worked on other readers too.

Just to update, I tried this and it works. Make sure you declare the PDF in the content.opf file or else when you click your link, it just jumps to the beginning of the book.
A couple things I noticed:
It makes the height of the PDF take up the entire screen. So if your PDF is landscape, the height will fit, but you have to scroll left to right. I'm using this for music tab PDFs, so it was a problem that they did not automatically fit in the screen. As a work around I re-did the PDFs so that are portrait sized, they just have more white space below. But at least they fit in the window when you click the,
Also what I am noticing is that large hi-res PDFs load very slow, making it hard to quickly zoom in and out and navigate. Low-res PDFs load fine, but look pretty bad when you zoom in on them.
I'll keep playing around to see if I can get settled on a certain size and resolution.
