@vdp: Haha, I also went the poppler-qt4 route - and found it to be slow :-) I had good experiences with muPdf on Android before, so I'm trying it now. From a first quick look, it seems to be much faster that poppler-qt4. I think it's just the overhead of Qt4 - and some sloppy C++ habits. The culprit really is that the device isn't too fast, and it has low RAM resources. I think I'm not too far from a first demo, I'll open a new thread here (and will provide code on github) when it "works". It's quite OT here, though.

@wiccan2 / on topic:

I mentioned it because it is packaged and already compiled. I doubt you'll find a compiled version tailored for the Kindle specifically, this is probably the most simple approach. The kindle's root partition is too small to hold a full-fledged LaTeX installation, I think. So you would resort to an image file on /mnt/us, at least to have a file system for LaTeX. This is more or less the Debian route anyway, so I would just use it.

The alternative is to compile a special-tailored version for the kindle. Well, I'm not too optimistic that this will happen soon. Cross-compiling just isn't a fun hobby. And compiling on the Kindle would take ages, I guess...
