I have, actually (see my user name). Download Diogenes (it is free) and the TLG if you don't already have it (Thesaurus linguae graecae. There is a free online only version, you have to buy the non-online version to use with Diogenes). I just cut and paste Greek or Latin text from Diogenes into word (or whatever word processor I feel like using) and convert them into a PDF that is suitable for a 6 inch screen. For scanned textbooks, I use my iPad. Very few are readable on a 6 inch screen. I would usually use Briss (also free) to cut off margins or divide the page into two before I bought my iPad. Give Briss a try, it will help a lot with readability.
Here is a link to the online version of the TLG:
http://www.tlg.uci.edu/demoinfo/demoauthors.php
cut and paste your texts from there, it is free and legal. It is a good workaround if you are only reading straight text.
Sorry I'm so off topic; when I read the work "Greek" I get a little too excited.
