Or is this pdf somehow protected that it puts blocks on the text so you can not read it?
Or maybe the reader can not handle pdf files of this size?
Or maybe the reader can not handel scanned pdf files?

Is there a better reader out there?
If parts of pages are blocked out, then I doubt that the pdf is made up of scanned images. Usually the whole page shows up blank if there is a problem with displaying a scanned image. I have scanned many technical books myself into PDF format, some over 1GB in size, and I never had a problem reading them on my 902. So, I would guess that your pdf is not a scan.

The PDF files I get from O'Reilly are version 1.6, and they get displayed properly on my 902.

I have no experience with encrypted pdf files, so I can't tell if that is your problem.

There are two pdf readers available on the 903. Hold down the round button over your book in the library app, choose "Open with..." in the menu, and then select the app that doesn't have the bullet beside the name (i.e. the default item). Maybe the other will work for you.
